Jason Matthew Stewart

Jason Matthew Stewart was born on August 6, 1971, in Van Nuys, California, to Clarence and Miriam Stewart. He spent his entire life in California, with most of those years in the Santa Clarita Valley, a place he proudly called home.

Jason was the proud father of three children: Jaycie, Natasha, and Gage.

His beloved daughter, Jaycie, preceded him in death in 2014, a loss that was forever in his heart.

Jason was an entrepreneur at heart who enjoyed learning new skills and earning certifications and licenses in the fields that interested him. Throughout his life, he became a licensed General Contractor, Realtor, Security Professional, and, for a time, an Ordained Minister.

He worked in retail, food service, construction, public works, and private security. He proudly served as a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff before retiring and continuing his career in Executive Protection.

He also dedicated countless hours serving his community, volunteering as a Track & Field coach for the Special Olympics and as an assistant to the State Adjutant and Executive Director of the California Narcotic Officers' Association and Survivors Memorial Fund.

Outside of work, Jason was very frugal, always looking for the best bargain! He loved to cook and enjoyed making people laugh. He had an incredible sense of humor and was at the ready with a clever one-liner, whether it was a favorite quote from an old movie or a perfectly timed joke. His laughter and wit were gifts that brought smiles to family and friends alike.

Jason is survived by his children, Natasha Stewart, and Gage Stewart; his father, Clarence Stewart Jr.; his sisters, Leisa Caples and Terisa River; brothers, Clarence Stewart III and wife Sylvia and Tyrone Stewart as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
