On May 4, 2019 at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Stuart passed peacefully surrounded by the love and gratitude of his family. His family’s grief is deep at the loss of this gentle, honourable and profoundly decent man who provided such love and support to his extended family. Stuart leaves his daughters, Karen McKinnon (Grant) and Connie Rosebush (Chad), two granddaughters, Avery and Stella and a grandson, Rhys. He is predeceased by his parents, Ella and Arnold McKinnon and by his siblings, Douglas, Alastair and Elinor. He is survived by his devoted brother, Kenneth McKinnon, as well as many loving nieces and nephews. The fine example Stuart set by the way he chose to live his life will serve to comfort his bereft family in their time of profound grief and loss. Visitation will be held at MacIntyre Family Funeral Home in Erin, Ontario on May 10 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. A funeral service giving thanks for the life of Stuart will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Hillsburgh, Ontario on May 11 at 10:00am. Internment to follow at Coningsby cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that you consider a donation to a charity of your choice or to the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation Creative Arts Studio, (perleyrideau.ca) and take a moment to savour all of life’s many blessings, as Stuart would want you to do.
