STEWART, Bruce Anthony

11/27/2025

Sunrise 12.05.1973 - Sunset 26.11.2025
Passed away in his element — the place he spent every day: the bush.
Son of Noel Stewart (Dec) and Ina Hawkins (Dec) who will be waiting at the golden gates with open arms for their son. Loved and adored Dad of Tamara-rose and Zinny, His best mate Bj, and Cassey. Cherished partner of Missy. Brother, uncle, cousin, “Killa,” and pal to many. “Eagle” in the bush.
Dad will lay at 74 Campbell Street from Saturday 29th November. All whanau and friends are welcome to come and pay their respects. Monday 1st December will be Dad’s final day where we will take him to Wairoa War Memorial Hall at 11am for his funeral service. He will then be taken to Waihua Urupa to be laid to rest.
“And that is the life of a fallerman, the life of a bushman”
