Stuart Philip Shader

Our beautiful Stuart, passed away on July 29, 2026. He lost his battle with addiction at only 36 years old. He was so very loved by our family and many others.  He was quite a character; so very smart, quick - witted, talented, loving and was just a gentle soul. He had the biggest heart ever! We will miss him so much and will remember him forever in our hearts. 

Stuart is survived by his mother, Kathy Shader, father, Mark Shader, brother, Damien and sister, Stephanie. He is also survived by his adored aunt, Claudette Waggoner (John), cousins, Angie Hack (Jerry), Emily Coleman (Kirby), Lisa Cunningham (Jesse), Susan Blanchard (Steve) and many more cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Last but not least, his beloved doggy, Sammy.

Addiction is a terrible disease.
