    Stewart Alois Hedges, (80), died peacefully at home on August 27, 2023 after a year-long illness.

    Stewart was born March 23, 1943 in Glendale, CA to loving parents, Walter Stewart and Lila Mae (Hubbard) Hedges. The family of three quickly moved to beautiful Ashland, OR where he was raised and graduated from Ashland High School in 1961. Stew then married Karen (Brown) and had four children, while he worked alongside his father in the family window washing business. Though he did have many other adventures, the most exciting was when he decided to finish his college degree in Phoenix, AZ. In 1981 he earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Southwest Baptist Bible College and became an Ordained Minister.

    Stewart wore many hats during his working years including manager of movie theaters and restaurants, and even a schoolteacher then principal at New River Christian Academy in Arizona. This is where he met and married Christine (Bowling), together having two wonderful children. Stew returned to Oregon with his new family and became a division manager for a school bus transportation company for over 25 years. When he finally retired, he continued as a dedicated county school bus driver in Klamath Falls, OR just to keep busy.

    Stewart loved a lot of things, driving had to be one of his favorites. If you spent much time with him, you must have taken one of his famous ‘Rides’. He always found a reason to be driving somewhere… the long way, too! He cherished spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, and sitting around a campfire talking with family and friends. He loved studying the Bible, family history, genealogy, listening to music, and watching old westerns. He was an avid reader, with his favorite book being the Bible, which he read every morning.

    Stewart is survived by his wife Christine (Bowling) Hedges, children Teresa (Hedges) Lowe (husband David) of Medford, OR, Jeffrey S. Hedges of Klamath Falls, OR, Rebecca M. Hedges of Klamath Falls, OR. His grandsons Travis Lowe (wife Cassidy) of Medford, OR, Hayden Lowe of Medford, OR, Paul David Stewart Hedges of Bonanza, OR, and Amber and David Hedges of Phoenix, AZ. Also leaving behind many loving cousins, family, friends, and best friend Terry Helfrich.

    Proceeded in death by his children Lisa L. Hedges, Jason S. Hedges, Mark D. Hedges, and his grandson Bradford D. Lowe.

    The Family will be having a memorial service at 11am on October 14th, 2023, at Scenic Hill Memorial Park, Ashland, OR.
