It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Alden Levi Stewart, June 7, 2009. Alden was born Feb 28, 1917.
He was the fifth of eight children born to David Levi and Jesse Stewart. He grew up and spent much of his adult life in Alamo, a town that he loved and that his grandparents helped to settle. Born into a hard-working family of cattle ranchers, he was a child of the depression.
As a young man, Alden served his country during World War I as a member of the U.S. Army attached to the Air Corps. He served as a medic and was stationed on land and sea in the South Pacific. In recognition of his efforts, he was awarded the Soldiers Medal of Valor, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal and Good Conduct Medal.
When he returned from the service, he met Carma Nelson, who would bless his life forever. In 1946 they were married in the Mesa LDS Temple and have spent the last 63 years building a life and raising a family. Their relationship has been a powerful example to his children and grandchildren of what true love and marriage can be.
Alden, along with his brothers made a significant involvement in the building up of the infrastructure of the State of Nevada. They established and ran Nevada Rock and Sand, Nevada Ready Mix, and Stewart Bros.
Alden's career, however was not the top of his priority list. rather, his devotion to God, his wife and children were the mark of his character. Alden loved his Father in Heaven and was always active in serving the church. He witnessed many marvels and had numerous significant accomplishments in his 92 years, but would readily say his family is his proudest legacy.
