Kyle Ray Stewart
Panguitch, Utah
Kyle Ray Stewart , 54 peacefully passed from this mortal life during the early morning hours of March 21, 2012, his devoted wife Cindy at his side. We know Jeffrey was eagerly awaiting Kyle’s arrival in paradise. Words would not be able to describe the pure joy and love of that father/son reunion. Kidney failure claimed Kyle’s life after 2½ years of critical health issues. He squared his shoulders and powered through them all, becoming a medical miracle and medical mystery.
Kyle was born August 15, 1957 in Cedar City to Jerald and Millie Sanders Mosdell. Later adopted by Al Stewart. He married Cindy Taylor, September 12, 1976 in Panguitch.
Kyle lived life large. He was a force of nature that was always on the move. He was not happy unless he was accomplishing something, every moment of every day. His mind raced with ideas. Those around him found it nearly impossible to keep up.
Kyle was not afraid to take the risks that most wouldn’t. Many of those risks proved to be fruitful, and some bit him in the butt. But he never quit trying, believing, or dreaming.
Kyle had a huge compassionate heart. He felt the need personally to improve the circumstances of all those around him. Whatever he had, he wanted to share with others. Giving to others gave Kyle much joy.
Kyle had an off-beat sense of humor, a stubborn streak and a short fuse. He said whatever he was thinking, with no filter, much to his wife’s embarrassment.
Kyle’s life may have been cut short at 54, but he put 100 years of living and adventure into that 54 years. And he accomplished much. He will be remembered long and well.
Kyle felt his most grand accomplishment was his family of six children, 11 grandchildren, and two more on the way.
The motivation for all of Kyle’s undertakings was to provide and care for his family, to train and teach them hard work and honesty, the value of loyalty and being a man of your word. He loved his family more than he could have ever expressed.
Kyle is survived in death by his wife Cindy; son James (Haley), and their children: Winston, baby Stewart; Nick (Sheena) and their children: Payton & Parker; Luke (Elkee) and their children: Mackenlee, Ransom, Bentley, Trig; Stacee (Justin) Partridge, and their children Shad & Kyzlee, baby Partridge; Ford (Chelsea) and their children: Gaige & Bridger; step-parents Al and Carol Stewart; in-laws, Jim and Sybil Taylor; brother, Scott and sister, DeAnn; and Jack and IvaDell Yardley.
Preceded in death by son, Jeffrey; mother, Mildred Lee; grandparents, Millie and Moroni Sanders; uncle, Verl Sanders.
