Tyler William Stewart, 28, of Crystal Lake, passed away on Sunday, February 12, 2017 surrounded by his family. He was born January 18, 1989 in Mason City, IA to Norman and Tara Stewart.
Tyler worked as an electrical apprentice for B & Z Electrical. He had an undeniable passion for his work and loved his coworkers like family. Tyler had an intense passion for living life to the fullest. He made it a point to travel as often as possible, and experience adventures others could only dream of. He enjoyed running marathons, hiking mountains, swimming, biking; anything to keep him active and outdoors. His family and friends were his life and he surrounded himself every day by those he loved. He loved to reminisce about the good times had, and was the absolute best at telling stories.
Becoming a husband and father were Tyler’s biggest achievements in life. He would always tell others how their relationships made him a better man, enriched his soul, and fulfilled his dreams.
Tyler is survived by his wife, Christina Stewart; his daughter, Hannah Mari and baby-on-the-way; his parents; his grandparents, Marilyn Stewart and Milton “Gramps” Ploghoft; his brothers, Tristan (Brenna) and Nicholas Stewart; his nieces, Eleanor, Penelope, and Chesney; his uncles, Bill (Sue) Stewart, Phil Ploghoft, Ed (Shelley) Cooper, and Milt (Liz) Ploghoft; and his cousins, Jessica and Stephanie Ploghoft, and Tammy Hunter.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, William Stewart and Zella “Gran” Ploghoft.
The family will receive guests from 4-8pm with a service to remember Tyler and his carefree spirit at 7 pm., Saturday, February 18, 2017 at Davenport Family Funeral Home, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake, IL. Interment will be private.
