Lee V. Stewart, 42, Lake Mills, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Friday, November 4, 2016, leaving a hole in the hearts of all who knew him.
Lee was a devoted father, husband, brother, son and friend, with a profound love for nature and music. He was born on May 24, 1974, in Barre, Vermont. He graduated from White Lake High School in Antigo and went on to school in Oshkosh and Stevens Point, playing football at both universities. He married Rachel Fuerstenberg of Livingston, Wisconsin, on September 20, 2008, in Waukesha at the Loft and Chapel at Cedar Ridge. He was a resident of Lake Mills for the past three years and was the property manager at Pond View Apartments.
A talented singer and guitar player, he often sang and played rock hits from the 1960s and 1970s at gatherings or just to entertain himself. Everything sounded good when Lee sang it. Lee was part of the band Watering Hole with his friends and more recently was involved with the Guitar League of Edgerton.
In addition to his interest in music, Lee was also an avid outdoorsman, loving to fish and hunt on his own and with friends and family. His son Ian loved to go fishing with Daddy, as well spend time with his daddy in any way possible.
Lee's generous spirit, warm heart, wide breadth of knowledge on numerous topics, ready sense of humor, love for the absurd, willingness to talk to anyone about anything, and every other part of him will be immensely missed.
Survivors include his wife, Rachel; son, Ian at home; parents, Lee and Leslie Stewart of Pepin, WI; sister, Heather (Lloyd) Terry of Laona, WI; 2 nieces, Emmie and Lily; 1 nephew, Nathan; and many other beloved relatives and friends.
