Obituary for Norman Edward Stewart
NORMAN EDWARD STEWART
OCTOBER 28/1954 to July 6/2022
It is with profound sadness and regret that the family of Norman Edward Stewart inform those closest to him of his unfortunate passing on July 6th 2022 as he peacefully slept.
Norman was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and was the final piece to the proud family that Melbourne and Phyllis Stewart built which all started with his older sister Donna. Growing up Norman had a childhood filled with love, laughter and friendship that seamlessly transitioned over to his teenage and adult years. While attending a social in 1979 Norman happened to run into a young woman by the name of Catherine Williams. Little did he know that the conversation he sparked up that night would lead up to their wedding on July 18/1981. In July of 1990 to their astonishment, Norman and Catherine were blessed twice in the month when they welcomed both their daughters, Candice and Brittany. Norman instantly fell in love with them and at every opportunity would spend time with them, raising them in his household the exact same way he was raised as a child, in kindness and unconditional love. As the years went on Candice and Brittany began their love for soccer and as one would suspect, Norman could be found in the stands wearing his orange poncho supporting his girls wearing a warm smile. When Norman was not at home or on the soccer pitch he could be found working as a travelling salesman spreading his infectious laughter in the MB/SK region. Norman loved watching sports and keeping up with world events but his one passion that he enjoyed with his whole heart was swimming. You could find Norman at the crack of dawn walking down to the beach, towel in hand ready to take on his “polar plunge swim”, sometimes with both his daughters, sometimes just with Candice and often at times by himself. Norman cared greatly and loved deeply. His family looks to carry on this endeavour raising his grandchildren, Leopold and Millie, in the same way he raised his daughters.
We love you Dad. We will forever carry you with us.
