WARREN a€" On July 14, 2011, Lynn William Stewart, 95, peacefully passed away from natural causes at his home, surrounded by those who loved him.

Lynn was born on January 15, 1916 in Ogden, the son of John Franklin and Mary Belle Wayment Stewart.

On December 17, 1936, Lynn married the love of his life, Reta Almira Maw in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were married nearly 75 years.

Except for the four years he lived in Plain City, Utah, he was a lifelong resident of Warren. He graduated from Weber High School in 1934. Lynn was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served in numerous positions including the presidency of the high priest group, president and counselor of the M.I.A and a teacher in various capacities.

Lynn worked and ran a dairy farm from his earliest years until 1969. He also worked at the Amalgamated Sugar Company, the Union Pacific Railroad and was a Weber County School District bus driver for 28 years. He was active with the Agriculture & Soil Conservation Committee for 14 years and was always admired for being an extremely reliable, committed and hard worker at everything he did, the greatest legacy he passed on to his family.

He loved sports and played baseball for many years in the Farm Bureau League and the semi-pro Utah-Idaho League. After playing, he continued in baseball activities as President of the Farm Bureau League and an Athletic Advisor on the North Weber Stake Board for 23 years. He loved hunting and fishing with his family and friends, which he did throughout his life.

Lynn was an avid reader of all types of books, such as history, church, gardening and biographies. He will be remembered for the magnificent flower and vegetable gardens that he and Reta nurtured for many years to the benefit of their family.
