"And when the day arrives

I’ll become the sky

And I’ll become the sea

And the sea will come to kiss me

For I am going home

Nothing can stop me now"

~Trent Reznor

Stuart is survived by his 5 children, Katherynn Yeagley of California, Zander Yeagley, Everleigh Vandagriff, Phoenix Vandagriff, and Westin Vandagriff, all of Somerset; his mother, Janie (Brad) Ervin Smith; his 3 sisters, Tiffany James, Kim (Rich) LeFever, and Amber (Thomas) Yeagley; the mothers of his children, Melissa Bennett, Abigail Frick, and Monica Vandagriff; 5 nieces and nephews, AJ (Brighton) Bryant, Rain (Alex) Wiseman, Ashley James, Noah Miller, and Lucas Wiseman; one Great-nephew, Arlo Peters, his trusty canine sidekick, Gonzo; and his extended family of friends.

Stuart was one of a kind. He loved his children with a ferocity that could not be measured. His love of music, art, and anything creative is what made him who he was. To have a “conversation” with him was to sign up for the debate of your life. His love of being outside, the Earth, and being one with nature put him at peace…Plant something for him.

Calling hours will be held at Hoskinson Funeral & Cremation Service 56 South Main St, Thornville, OH 43076 on Saturday, December 23, 2023, from Noon to 3pm. Green was his color, wear it in his memory.

In lieu of flowers, a trust has been established for the benefit of his children. Donations can be made c/o Hoskinson Funeral & Cremation Services PO Box 267, Thornville, OH 43076. Please make checks payable to the Stuart Yeagley Memorial Trust.
