Memorial to our Member Rob Stewart

Robert Cullen Stewart

On September 16, 2009, in Lacey, WA, Robert (Rob) C. Stewart went to be with the Lord following a short, but courageous battle with cancer. Rob was born to Doug and Deanna Stewart in Torrance, CA on November 24, 1969, where he, his older sister, Wendy, and younger brother Courtny grew up. Rob was an avid fisherman throughout his life, enjoyed participating in baseball, volleyball and recently added rock hounding to his recreational activities. He graduated from California Maritime Academy with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.S. in Marine Engineering Technology in 1991. He was honored as Distinguished Engineering student and Scholar Athlete of his class. Rob served with NOAA for 2 years then joined MEBA working primarily in the Pacific. Most recently Rob served as First Engineer aboard the Horizon 'Tiger' being a qualified Chief Engineer. Rob was devoted to his family, church family, fishing buddies and rock club friends all of whom are welcomed to celebrate his life at the Reality Church, 7th and Franklin in Olympia, WA., on Saturday, October 3, 2009. The service will begin at 1:30PM followed by food and fellowship. Family suggests donations may be sent in Rob's memory to The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Fund.

This obituary is from the Olympian newspaper along with the picture which doesn't really do Rob justice. I'm still looking through my vast collection of club photos for pictures of Rob to include in the newsletter. If you have any pictures, please feel free to e-mail them to me at djames50 at gmail dot com. Thanks, Dana James
