Andrew Stewart

Heaven got a little bit brighter on December 12, 2024, when Andrew Stewart passed away and rejoined awaiting family. Andrew Bruce Stewart, 26, was born on October 18, 1998, in Soda Springs, Idaho to Bruce and Whitney Stewart. Andrew’s entrance into this world was nothing short of exciting and grand – as they had to turn around because he couldn’t wait to get here. He and his four siblings grew up happily together and he loved to be outside jumping his bike, hunting, hiking and always seeking adventure.   

As a graduate of Soda Springs High School in 2017, Andrew excelled academically as well as in football, baseball, basketball and was a State Champion in Track & Field. After graduation, Andrew joined the Marine Corps and served as an Active-Duty Combat Marine for five years. He proudly served his Country and people in the most honorable way. During Active-Duty, Andrew accomplished Rifleman, Marine Corps Security Force Guard, Security Force Training, and was awarded a Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons, an Expert Rifle Qualification Badge as well as Expert Pistol Badge and was ranked as a Staff Sergeant. His impact is felt over many, many miles. 

Andrew is survived by his father Bruce Stewart, mother Whitney Stewart, oldest sister Kathleen Skalicky (Nicholas, Liberty, Lillian and Olivia), second oldest sister Anna Matyus (Bridger), youngest sister Carolyne Stewart among many family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his Grandfather Michael Linde, Grandmother Margaret Stewart and youngest brother Nathanael Stewart.  

Andrew is so loved, so missed and proudly honored by his family, friends and Country. He lived an honorable life and will be remembered for his purpose, his smile, compassion and dedication to his family.  

Services with Military Honors will be held at a later date where we will celebrate Andrew’s life.  

The family welcomes all to come to the house for memories, laughs, tears and hugs.
