STEWARD, Scott

Scott Robert Steward passed away unexpectedly on November 3, 2008 as a result of a tragic accident. Born on May 3, 1960 in Redwood City, Calif., Scott is survived by his parents Charles and Margaret Steward of Redwood City and his brother William Steward and his family, Heather (wife), Jack, Callan, and Sam (children), all of Sparks, Nev. Scott, a graduate of Notre Dame College of Belmont, Calif., was an entrepreneur at heart who contributed to the growth of several successful businesses. He was a talented athlete who excelled both at sports and at being a life long San Francisco Giants fan.

Friends and family are invited to a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2008 at MOUNT VERNON MEMORIAL PARK, 8201 Greenback Lane, Fair Oaks, Calif. Casual dress is requested.

Scott was a respected member of the Sacramento entrepreneur community. He was involved with several local startups. He was always upbeat, rooting for others, full of boyish exuberance. He was a life long San Francisco Giants fan. I remember him trying to cheer up Rich, a new acquaintance of Scott's and a friend of mine, who had just received very bad health news. Scott checked in with Rich often and offered his prized SF Giant tickets as a lure to get Rich focused on taking a trip with his daughter rather than on his illness. It's funny how things turn around. Rich made a full recovery and Scott is gone. I wish I had checked in more often. We will miss him.

Here's a photo of Scott (with my friend Marilyn Edling) at our inaugural Sacramento Executive event in January 2006.
