Roger L. Stewart

Roger L. Stewart, age 80, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, July 7, 2022, at Eden Meadows in Oshkosh, WI. He was born in New London, WI on May 6, 1942, to the late Leroy and Louise (Sheel) Stewart.

Roger grew up in Clintonville, WI where he learned the value of hard work. This trait stuck with him his entire life. He constantly strove to be the best he could be whether employee, husband, or father.  After high school he became a master welder at Four Wheel Drive. He had a deep love for this country and proudly served in the National Guard.  He was recognized as a Sharpshooter in the Guard, and became an ace trapshooter in his free time. After moving to Oshkosh in 1969, Roger worked for the Wisconsin DMV as a driver's license examiner for 32 years. One highlight from Roger's post-retirement employment was driving bus for Kobussen, especially the van for smaller pick ups of students with special needs. He did this up until just a few weeks before his passing. He loved "his kids," and they shared many special memories and laughs.

Roger loved his family. He never missed a Sunday call with his dear sister Sandra, his wife has not pumped her own gas in 31 years, and his grandkids knew a free ride and ice cream was just a phone call away. Roger enjoyed the friendship of his Perkin's coffee clutch crew for decades. He enjoyed traveling and seeing new places, especially when his special niece Kandy did all the planning.

Roger is lovingly survived by his wife of 31 years, Lynnda Stewart; three daughters: Jodi (Mark) Budde, April (Mikel) Buckarma, Leah (Gary) Luke; and son, Jon (Bryce Lord) Stewart; five grandchildren: Tyler Budde, Ethan Budde, Ellie Luke, Lauryn Luke, and John Luke; great grandchild, Millie Graveen; and sister, Sandra (Willie) Eulrich.

A memorial service for Roger will be held at 12:00 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home, 100 Lake Pointe Drive, Oshkosh with military honors. Visitation will be at the funeral home on Thursday from 10:00 am until the time of service.
