He was born on June 22, 1936 in Provo, Utah to his wonderful parents, Paul and Hilda Stewart. J.E. was known to his close family and friends as Jake. He lived a good life, raised five faithful children, left behind a wonderful, loving wife and a legacy of faith. His wife, children and grandchildren were the priority and the greatest source of joy and happiness in his life. J.E. has lived his life as a disciple of Christ. He was the quintessential example of faith. We will miss his wisdom, his sense of humor, quick wit, his loving example as a devoted husband and a powerful priesthood leader of his family.
