Steven Stewart


Steven Wayne Stewart of Charlotte—a very caring but no bull kind of guy—died June 13, 2021 at the age of 65. Steve was born in Rockford, Ill. on August 31, 1955 to Billie and Charlotte (Quackenbush) Stewart. He married Renae Reiland in February of 1977, and worked at General Motors as a skilled tradesman until his retirement. A member of the Capitol Area Harley Owners Group as well as Mid-Michigan Model A Club, Steve enjoyed everything about motorcycles and cars, especially trips to find all the best ice cream shops. A loyal and kind man, Steve was a good friend to many. He also enjoyed fishing, woodworking, tractors, collecting guns, and of course shooting so he could truly enjoy his collection.
Steve is survived by his wife, Renae Stewart; daughter, Stephanie (Andrew) Philo; grandson, Dominic Philo; brother, Dan (Adrienne) Stewart; sister-in-law, Rebecca Reiland; and many extended family members. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Michael Stewart; and brother-in-law, Bill Reiland Jr.
