The Stewart Rudnicki Memorial Fund

It is with enormous sadness that we announce the death of Stewart Rudnicki. Stewart passed away after a tragic accident on April 2, 2019. He is mourned by his family and friends, including his wife, Katrina, and their two young children.

This fund has been established to help defray the immediate funeral, memorial, and day-to-day costs that arrive hand-in-hand with unexpected tragedy. All proceeds will go directly to Katrina.

Stewart will forever be missed for his sense of humor, insatiable curiosity, and general good nature. Stew was that guy—the one always willing to lend a helping hand, or kick back for a chat, or play a game (woe to his opponents, though—he was a formidable competitor!).

As a kid, Stew couldn't sit still for more than five seconds. He'd zip from one new discovery to the next, always looking, exploring, wondering. And that quest for information and activity extended into adulthood. He was a tinkerer, a scientist, a nature enthusiast. 

But, the bulk of his energy went to those he loved. He was fiercely dedicated to his family—as father, husband, son, brother, uncle, and cousin.

Stewart was such a force of nature, and played such an enormous role in so many people's lives, it's hard to fathom his absence.
