In loving memory of
Thomas (Tommy) Stewart
July 28, 1967 – August 16, 2020
A memorial service was held on Friday, August 21, 2020 at 7:30 PM EDT
On Sunday, August 16th, 2020, Thomas (Tommy) Stewart of Dania Beach passed away with his wife by his side. A devoted husband, father, brother, and son, he is survived by his wife Jennifer, his two children, Logan and Hunter Stewart, and his brothers James H. (Paula) Stewart, Jr., John K. (Rosalie) Stewart, David M. (Donna) Stewart, and his sister Sandra (George) Dolan. A Florida native, his years in the Air Force sent him to Biloxi, MS right after his wedding and later to Omaha, NE before returning to South Florida.
Tom began his broadcasting career as an indie pioneer in the days of pirate radio in the 1990’s. He later worked for Clear Channel and most recently for Univision in Miami, FL. Up until his last days he continued to host a motivational podcast with childhood friend, John Curren. Tom was a gifted and disciplined martial artist who eventually led his whole family into the field of competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which they frequently wrote about on their “Jiu-Jitsu Family” blog. He was a rare man with profound spirituality, a sense of humor, and a generous heart. He was fond of the quote “Be the hero of your own story.” This he certainly was and to those who know and love him, that he will always remain.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Tommy’s memory to Gilda’s Club South Florida.
Visitation will be held at Landmark Funeral Home on Friday, August 21, 2020, from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Virtual prayer service will be conducted at 7:30 pm. Burial will be on Saturday, August 22, 2020, at 11:00 am at Southern Memorial Park.

My uncle Tommy was an incredibly special person. He lived an exemplary life and was a person who demonstrated a way of living to help other people. He was kind, good natured, loving, wise & had a silent strength to him. He was a fighter in every way and he will be deeply missed.

My name is Stewart Prosise and Tom was my youngest first cousin. I am sad to hear of his death and am sorry he had to suffer for so long before that. I know he was a great son to my late Aunt and also a good brother to his four siblings. In addition I know he took the responsibilities of being a father seriously and even planned activities the whole family (his wife and two children) could do together. He left this world to soon and will be greatly missed!

My love and prayers to you Sandy and your brothers family such a terrible loss

The Stewart family is one of the most beautiful families I have ever met. The family had been in our thoughts and prayers since first learning of Tom’s illness and will continue to be in our prayers…prayers for peace and eternal life for Tom and for strength and comfort for Jen and Hunter and Logan.

Tommy, Jenn, Fred and I joined our lives together as we all walked through Gilda’s red door for the first time on the very same day! It was fate and unfortunate circumstances that brought us together, yet devoted friendship was our mutual gift! We have laughed and cried together, and now suffer this great loss. Tommy touched our hearts and changed our lives by sharing his strength and sense of humor. He lived his life fully and let us watch the way it should be done. We are blessed that Tommy came into our lives and will live within our hearts forever! Our loving arms will remain around the family. Rest peacefully, dear friend! With love, Lori and Fred Ginsberg
