Donnie Stewart Jr. was born to the late Donnie Sr. and Rosa Stewart on Nov. 27, 1982. Donnie Jr. was a resident of Mobile, Alabama and departed this life on the 19th of September in the year of our Lord 2021. He was a 2001 graduate of Williamson High School. Donnie Jr. received his Barber training from White’s Barber College and was mentored under the leadership of Bo Trotter at Exclusive Cuts.
He started cutting hair as a young boy on his parent’s front porch and went on to become one of the community’s most skilled and beloved Master Barbers. As an entrepreneur, he opened Motivation Cuts on Dec 12, 2006. He created a lifestyle and legacy of mentoring, teaching, and providing job and apprenticeship opportunities for young men and budding barbers.
He was a member of Living Word Christian Center and supported other men when they spread the gospel news. Donnie was a devoted father to his daughter Faith and his bonus daughter O’tasia.
Donnie was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed frequent fishing trips–he invited everyone to come along and he never met a stranger. He found great joy in cooking what he caught, firing up the grill and sharing his food (and hot sauce) with the community.
He was humble and motivational. He forged many deep relationships and influenced the Maysville community with his mentorship, encouragement, and selfless spirit. We thank God for every day we had with Donnie Jr. He will be deeply missed by family, friends and his community.
Donnie Stewart Jr. is survived by his daughters Faith and O’tasia, mother Rosa, and sisters, Donna Lisa (Luke) and Mary; his nieces DeKaila, Chelsey, Jade, his nephew Ashton and a host of loving family and many friends.
