Carl Stewart, age 81, of Taylor, Michigan, passed away on October 24, 2026. Born on March 8, 1945, in Knox County, Kentucky, Carl lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and a deep love for his family.
Carl worked as a machine operator in the steel industry, where he was known for his strong work ethic and steady presence. A proud member of the Teamsters, he valued the camaraderie and community that came with his profession.
Above all, Carl was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a genuinely kind and easy-going man who cherished his family above all else. His love for gardening brought him joy, especially tending to his vegetable garden, which was a reflection of his nurturing spirit.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Levi and Gladys Stewart, and many siblings. Carl is survived by his beloved wife, Dorothy Stewart; daughter Charlene (Joe) Crawford; son Billy (Christy) Hornyak; granddaughter Crystal (Casey) Knox; great-grandchildren JR Kimble, Landon Kimble, Benny Hornyak, and Sonny Hornyak; and siblings Ernest Stewart, Janice Faye Stewart, GC Stewart, and Bonnie (Jerry) Mills. He also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will dearly miss his warmth and kindness.
