Mark Alan Stewart passed away on March 25, 2025, at his home in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Mark was born December 30, 1948, in Columbus, Ohio to his parents, Jack and Wilma Stewart, who preceded him in death. Mark graduated from Worthington High School and attended Miami University of Ohio. He was a Business Psychology major and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He was the retired president and co-owner of TRANSInternational System, a family-owned transportation and logistics company, founded in 1975. Mark was a co/founder and a major part of The Addict’s Parents United, a national non-profit community of support for parents with children with the disease of addiction, parents of loss and/or raising grandchildren due to their child’s substance use disorder. He and his wife Brenda traveled and spoke all over Ohio, were part of a 60Minutes segment on the disease and did several TV and other interviews regarding their journey. Mark was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle and friend. He was a man of great warmth, intelligence and unwavering love for his family. He brought joy and laughter into every room, always ready with a kind word, and a helping hand, or a clever solution to any problem. He took immense pride in the home he created, filling it with love – and an array of high-tech gadgets. Now, with him gone, his family is left not just with an irreplaceable void in their hearts, but also a house full of electronics no one quite understands how to operate without him. Marks legacy is one of love, laughter, humor and the countless memories he created with those fortunate enough to know him. Though he is no longer with us his spirit lives on in the lives he touched, the wisdom he shared and the love he so freely gave. He will be deeply missed, always loved, and forever remembered. Heaven gained an amazing angel. They broke the mold when he was made. His endless wit, and his ability to turn anything into a life lesson will all be truly missed by all who knew him. Mark is survived by and will be greatly missed by his beloved wife Brenda Stewart; children Jason Stewart, Jared (Sandy) Stewart, Danielle (Tom) Gurtler, Richard Kreager, Jeremy Kreager, Skyler Kreager, Kenneth Kreager; grandchildren Nicholas, Devan, Gage and Ayvah; brother John (Marjorie) Stewart; sister Cindy (Raymond) Miller; nieces Kelsey, Shelby and Angie; as well as many loving Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and cherished friends.
