Edward “Keith” Stuart, 63, lovingly referred to as both “Keith” and “Ed” left for his Holy home on December 13, 2021.We are certain of a joyous reunion in Heaven for him with his loving mother, Barbara Jean Stuart; little sister, Lanora “Lori” Booth (Jeff Booth); son-in-law, Jerry Woolwine; ex-wife and friend, Sharon Stuart, as well as his grandparents; Kenneth Worth and Rosa Ayers Stuart, Edward William and Nora Dutton Lambert, and many other loved ones who preceded him. Grieving their loss yet celebrating his life are his adored daughter; Nicole Renea Woolwine, his cherished grandsons; Ashton Lewis and Dakota Keith Woolwine, his beloved father, Warren Keith Stuart; his big sister, Rose Ann Ferris (RD Cook, Richard Ferris); his little brother, Ken Stuart (Susan); his sister-in-law, Dawn McDowell; his brother-in-law, Douglas Minnix; his many nieces & nephews, Desiree, Drew, Aaron, Max, Heather, Haley, and Lindsay; his cousin and mischief partner, Liz (and her children); special companion and friends, Donna, Robert, Timmy, Gary, and many more who he loved and who cherished him. Keith was a United States Navy Veteran, having joined right out of high school and served in both Okinawa and Guam. He settled in the Stewartsville area of Bedford County. He was a true outdoorsman, he especially loved to hunt and to garden. He was a diehard fan of the Washington Redskins. He was an electrician by trade; a real handyman, and definitely a comedian by character. He was full of life with a huge personality and a practical joke around every corner. His mischievous grin and laugh will be particularly missed. He was deservingly proud to be an active single father for Nicole, a great provider, and even mentored his cousin’s children as their “Uncle”. He truly loved animals. He exceptionally loved his dogs and filled his life and home with them over the years. He always had a pack to keep him company. Missing their pack leader now are his babies Lulu, Rex, Jackson, Louie, Ace, and Mateo. The family will hold a memorial service to honor Keith at a later date. Arrangements by Burch-Messier Funeral Home, Bedford, 540-586-7360.
