Brent Dunn Stewart

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Brent Dunn Stewart, on March 3, 2026, at the age of 67.

Brent was born March 25, 1958, in Russell, Manitoba. He was the third of four children (three sons, and one daughter) born to Bob and Bonnie (Dunn) Stewart. He grew up on their family farm –“Primrose Hereford Farm”- alongside his grandparents Watson and Florence Dunn, as well as his Uncle Mervyn and Aunt Shirley Dunn and their five children. Brent spent his life surrounded by cattle, friends and family.

In 1979, Stewart Cattle Co was formed. Brent and Dale met through the cattle industry and were married in 1983. They built a career in the cattle business, raising several different breeds including Hereford, Salers, Charolais and in the end Angus and Simmental cattle. They were so happy to welcome their daughter Kelsey into their lives in 1989.

Brent held a deep and abiding passion for the cattle industry, finding great joy in the dedication and discipline of raising and showing quality livestock. Countless hours were spent in the barn and on the road, preparing cattle for the show ring, where his commitment, keen eye, and pride in his herd was always evident. He valued not only the pursuit of excellence, but also the friendships and community built through all the years of showing cattle across Canada.

Above all, Brent cherished his family, who were the center of his life and greatest source of pride. What he loved the most in life was being Papa Brent to his two grandchildren, Brance and Blair. He spoke of them with endless pride and affection, often joking that he had one bull and one heifer – a reflection of both his sense of humor and his deep roots in the cattle industry.  Brent and Dale travelled numerous miles to Alberta and back visiting them. His love, guidance, and steady presence will be deeply missed and forever carried in the hearts of his family.

Brent is survived by his daughter Kelsey (Tyler) Thompson, and grandchildren Brance and Blair Thompson. His sister Marilyn Stewart- Foster as well as his brothers and sisters in law. His many cousins who were like brothers and sisters as well as many nieces and nephews.

Brent is predeceased by his wife, Dale Stewart, parents Robert (Bob) and Bonnie Stewart, brothers Brad Stewart and Bruce Stewart, and niece Marley Stewart.
