It is with deep sorrow and heartbreak that we announce the sudden passing of Justin Troy Stewart, age 36 years, of Eastern Passage, NS. Born and raised in Beach Point, PEI, Justin was the loving husband of Jaime Wertman, proud father of Walter Sterling Stewart, and cherished son of Stephen and Rebecca Stewart. Justin will be forever loved and missed by his sisters Kendra and Melissa (Evan), brother Micah (Sinead), nephew Steve, niece Roslynn, as well as many extended family and friends.
Justin’s kind and compassionate nature and the care and generosity he showed to all those who knew him made Justin such an amazing man. He had the biggest heart, the biggest laugh, the best sense of humour, and touched so many people in his short 36 years of life. Despite experiencing health issues since birth, they never held him back from living his life to the fullest and making the most out of every opportunity. When faced with adversity, Justin met it with bravery and strength.
From a young age, Justin had such passion in everything he did. His love for anything with an engine or motor began early and continued throughout his life. From dirt bikes, motorcycles, and cars to boats, four wheelers, and snowmobiles, Justin was always sailing, riding, driving, fixing, or buying and selling. Justin worked as a mechanic for 13 years before pursuing his true passion and becoming a fisherman in 2015. Like everything else he did, Justin’s strong work ethic, determination and strength shone through and made him the best Captain.
As much as Justin loved fishing, the love he had for his wife, Jaime, and son, Walter, was so much stronger. Justin was the best husband and father and loved Jaime and Walter more than anything in this world. Seeing them together warmed our hearts so much, and it brings us solace knowing that Justin will forever live on in Walter. Although Justin’s time on this earth was cut far too short, we are so grateful for the time we shared with him and will forever hold him close in our hearts.
