Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home.
Jack Garvin Stewart, 90 years old, died at home in Enid on
August 14, 2018. Jack was born in Waukomis, Oklahoma October
10, 1927, to Garvin and Marie Stewart.
The family moved to Ft. Smith, Arkansas, where Jack
graduated from Ft. Smith High School a semester early in
order to join the navy in December 1944, where he served
four years in the Pacific.
Upon discharge from the navy, Jack attended Oklahoma A & M
(now OSU) where he graduated with a Bachelor of Business
Administration in 1951. Jack was a member of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity where he made lifelong friendships.
After graduation, Jack moved to Hennessey to rejoin his
family. There he met Jamae Bullis, whom he married on
December 25, 1952. The newlyweds moved to Enid after the
birth of their first daughter Jan in 1953.
Jack worked for Groendyke Transport from 1954 until his
retirement in 1992.
Upon the death of Jack's father Garvin, Jack and his family
also farmed and ranched the Stewart family land west of
Hennessey. The family spent many memorable years fishing and
enjoying the great outdoors. Every day was an adventure with
a story to tell.
After retirement, Jack became an avid recreational sailor.
He loved spending time with his family at the cabin on Grand
Lake. Jack was an accomplished pilot and flew many hours
between Enid and Grand Lake.
Jack will be deeply missed by his wife of 65 years, Jamae,
his daughters, Jan Stewart of Jackson, Mississippi, Amy
(husband Mike) Dunn of Oklahoma City, Sarah Crandall of
Oklahoma City, and Lora Davidson of New Braunfels, Texas.
Jack's grandchildren, Sarah and Jack Davidson, and Lillian
Crandall were his pride and joy.
He is survived by his sisters, Carolyn Standridge of Buena
Vista, Arkansas, and Marolyn Stewart of Camarillo, CA.
Jack had an engagingly wry sense of humor and wit. His
witticisms are the things of legend. He embraced life and
its adventures and will be missed by all who knew him.

memory to Variety Care Foundation, 3000 N. Grand Boulevard,
