George Harrison Stewart, Jr.

“ Chubby”

George “Chubby” Harrison Stewart, Jr., of Mechanicsville, Maryland departed from his earthly clay on Thursday, May 2, 2019, at the Hospice House of St. Mary’s, Callaway, Maryland with his loving niece Summer Joi Swales and  ex-nephew-in-law Darian White Sr., by his side. Chubby remained jovial and pleasant throughout his illness.  Chubby made his debut on Wednesday, November 16, 1955 in La Plata, Maryland; a creation of love between the late Mabel (Dade) and the late George Harrison Stewart, Sr.  At three days old baby George went to live with his Aunt Eva (Dade) and her husband James “Melvin” Baker, Sr., along with their four children. Upgrading his first cousins into bonus siblings. Once his eldest sister Carol Ann “Minnie” saw his little fat legs and cheeks she affectionately nicknamed him “Chubby.”  That name stuck with him for his lifetime.  Chubby received his education through St. Mary’s County Public School System.  He was a proud graduate of Chopticon High School Class of 1976. Chubby was known for his athletic abilities in Track and Field. He has State records that are still acknowledge for the 100 yards dash.  He was also a dedicated manager for the Chopticon High School Basketball team.

He was employed by Charles County Department of Public Facilities.  Alongside his mentor and buddy Jim Fedorko. Chubby served as Assistant Park Manager at Pisgah Park in La Plata,  Maryland, which was his home away from home. Pisgah Park was his oasis for ten years.

Chubby loved to talk, he would tie up your time showing the various millions of videos that he had recorded of the park.  We’ve unofficially renamed the Park “George Pisgah Park”.

Chubby had an undeniable love for sports, whether it was watching his favorite NFL team the “Washington Redskins” or watching two generations of greatness play in the NBA. His favorite players were Earvin “Magic” Johnson and LeBron “King” James. His love for basketball spilled over to the younger generation.  He was a mentor and basketball coach for St. Mary’s County Recreation & Parks from 1994 until 2013; then as Gym Supervisor from 2013 until is death. He was the most kind hearted, thoughtful, family-oriented and community driven person anyone could ever meet. It was a blessing for anyone to have known or to have met him.  

He leaves to cherish his fonding and celebrated memories with his wife Sarah who remained his beloved friend and her family; his dearest sister Carol Ann Minor and her husband George; dedicated brother Leonard “Pat” Baker and wife Deborah;  caring brother-in-law James “Bull” Somerville; three sons David Young, Reggie Curtis and Shanelle Stewart and his lovely daughter Kiesha McMillan and husband Roderick “Rod” and their precious baby girl Kira Grace.  Chubby loved being a Pop-Pop. Much loved mother-in-law Mary Evelyn Washington. Two committed nephews Dwayne “Dink” Somerville and Dennis Baker along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.  Adored companion Blanche Thompson and her steadfast daughters Marquita Hargrove and Sherona Thompson.  Several of his closest childhood family friends Tyvie Herbert, Sr., Joseph “Joe-Joe” Young, along with Patrick and Annie Young, all zealously and tirelessly committed their time to remained by his side until is transition.  Chubby was preceded in death by both sets of parents; his sisters Mae Smallwood, Virginia Eastwood, Bucky, Lynn Stewart and Loris Somerville. Brothers Wallace “Boogie” Dent,  Anthony “Georgie” Stewart and James “June” Baker, Jr.

There have been so many people that have been apart of George’s life, that we cannot name them all however, there are a few that hold a special place:  Joseph “Joe-Joe” & Valeen Young, Joe & Marilyn Young, Patrick & Annie Young, Kenneth Mueller, Kenny Sunderland and Mrs. Anna King, The Chopticon High School Class of 1976, Charles County Department of Public Facilities, St. Mary’s County Parks & Recreation Staff, the Fort Foote Baptist Church Family, Marshall & Lyles Families, Thompson Family, Hospice House of St. Mary’s and Maryland Oncology Hematology Staff.

John 8:12

Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will by no means walk in darkness, but will possess the light of life.”   We all truly know that George Harrison “Chubby” Stewart, Jr.,  walks in the light.
