Bro. Steve Stuart was an awesome man of God, he shined a light everywhere he went. Before he passed he was working on the building fund for the roof of his church. He donated money as much as possible. His goal was to have a new roof on the church. His wish was for everyone to donate in his name instead of buying flowers for his funeral. We are making this page to give everyone a chance to give if they are able. Thanks and God Bless. https://www.gofundme.com/in-memory-of-steven-stuart
