He also leaves behind nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; his sister, Sherry (Larry) Hagmann of Neapolis, Ohio; along with two nieces and nephews, and six great-nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry E. Stuard Sr.; his mother, Marjorie R. (O’Dell) Stuard; his grandparents and great-grandparents; and his great-nephew, Jason.

A graveside service will be held on March 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Springfield Township Cemetery, 7601 Annin St., Holland, Ohio. A celebration of life will follow at the Centurions Motorcycle Club, located at 1501 Whitehouse-Spencer Rd., Swanton, Ohio.
