James Stewart Obituary
James Anthony "Tony" Stewart, 70, passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at Wyandot County Skilled Nursing & Rehab Center in Upper Sandusky. Born October 29, 1954, in Van Wert, to Alexander "Boot" and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Stewart, Tony brought joy and warmth to everyone around him.
He is survived by siblings, Alan Fergus "Pat" (Billie) Stewart, Sally (Izaak) Walton, and Sue Madar; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Alexander "Sandy" Stewart Jr. and Janet Stewart; and nephew, Alan Fergus "Chip" Stewart Jr.
Tony was known for his infectious happiness and love of music, movies, NASCAR, Harleys, and The Ohio State Buckeyes. His caregivers and family cherished his big smile and inquisitive nature, making him a favorite to all those he touched over the years. He especially enjoyed taking trips, from Disneyworld adventures to Walmart outings, watching movies from his DVD collection or listening to his favorite CDs from artists like Meatloaf, Kiss, Alabama and Guns N' Roses.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to all who cared for Tony, especially the teams at Wyandot Co. Skilled Nursing & Rehab, Heartland Hospice, RHAM, Marca Industries, and his friend, Ruth, at Social Security Administration. Special gratitude goes to his sister, Sally, his devoted guardian and caregiver.
Private graveside services will be at a later date.
Memorial contribu-tions may be made to Wyandot Co. Skilled Nursing & Rehab, Heartland Hospice of Marion, or RHAM.

Tony was an amazing person. I was blessed to be able to have know Tony for 4 years. We all will miss him. He would catch the attention of everyone in the room with his smile and laughter.
Tony will miss you and love you Tony.

I was able to be a part of Tony's life for almost 3 years. He was such a joy to be around. I'll forever miss hearing "hey buddy" or him noticing if I wore anything new ...(didnt matter if it was a shirt or shoes he noticed lol). Tony loved to go on adventures and trips, the zoo will always be a favorite memory of mine.
We love you Tony and it was an honor to be a part of your life.
