J.C. “Pops” Stewart, 79, of Masonville, passed away on Tuesday, April 25, 2023 while under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. He was born October 3, 1943 in Beech Grove, Kentucky to the late William and Jewell Stewart. He was a U.S. Army Veteran, serving from 1966 until 1968 during the Vietnam conflict.
