Mr. Everett Stewart III

His Birth and Foundation Everett "Junebug" Stewart, III was born on September 25, 1963 in Fort Knox, Kentucky to Everett Leon Stewart, Jr. and Bessie Marie Pope. He was the second child of two from that union. He accepted Christ at an early age. His Early Years Junebug spent his early years in Bessemer, Alabama, where he attended school. He later returned to Michigan where he attended the Detroit Public School system. While in high school, he played trumpet in the high school band. He attended Western International High School and Mackenzie High School. His Earthly Purpose Junebug pursued many endeavors which benefited from his versatile personality. As a young man, he worked as a doorman at the Jeffersonian Apartments. Junebug later owned and helped to develop several business ventures, such Tiffany’s Florist Shop and the Five Star Nail Salon. He was last employed as truck driver for the Salvation Army until his health made such work difficult; nevertheless, he still remained a supporter of the cause and a parishioner of the church. Junebug was formerly married to Tiffany Prude-Joplin and had one son. He was wed in holy matrimony with Marvinna Stewart for the last 20 years and from this union two sons were born. His Favorites Throughout this life he held a deep love for his Alabama roots and often visited his mother’s family in the summer. The blues music and country ways of his younger years remained with him, and he always brought a bit of that back to Detroit through his spirit and personal values. Junebug spent his adult years in Michigan and was a die-hard Detroiter. He loved cruising his rebuilt ‘Old Cold’ 1968 Camaro – especially during the Woodard Dream Cruise – and he prided himself on knowing how to drive “anything with an engine.” In his later years, he also developed a passion for camping and the RV lifestyle. He enjoyed spending quality time with his family and camping buddies, and he loved introducing others to the peace and beauty of the outdoors. Junebug adored good food and good people – regardless of their history or hustle. His favorite pastime was sharing time with his many family members and many friends. He loved a good story – both telling them and hearing them – and he probably had a story about you. His Ascension Junebug was preceded in death by his father, Everett Leon Stewart, Jr., and on June 28, 2015 he yielded his spirit unto God and entered into a place of rest.
