David Alan Stewart, 61, of Morgantown, WV, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. The youngest of seven children was born on August 27, 1960, to the late Charles, Jr. (CJ) and Edna Stewart.
As a child, David was raised in the Mt. Beulah Baptist Church in Grant Town, West Virginia. He grew up and attended Fairview and North Marion High Schools. He was an avid track runner in his early years and enjoyed playing basketball, and car racing.
In 1978 David met Denise Rush. After a long friendship, the two began dating in 1982 and together they welcomed his only daughter, Symone Stewart whom he loved unconditionally and was extremely proud of for her achievements.
In Feb of 1989, David relocated to Charlotte, NC where he was a supervisor for the OTTO industry. After several years, he moved back to WV and was employed at Manchin Carpet Center, in Farmington, WV.
Among his hobbies, he took pride in gardening, cooking, and swimming. David adored his granddaughter Samiyah and to her, he was affectionately known as PaPa. He often spoke of how smart and talented Samiyah was and he was amazed at how fast she could run.
