On Saturday, January 23, 1988 in Hope, Arkansas a baby boy was born to Rickie Draper and Mary Morrison, and they named him Justin Alexander Stuart. Justin, affectionally known as “Stu-baby”, attended Nashville Schools and Job Corps where he graduated.

Justin began working at Tyson Foods and met his love Angelica Williams. On his 29th birthday they got married. More than anything, Justin loved his children and family. He was always considered their protector.

Stu-baby enjoyed playing and watching football, and you would definitely catch him rocking the latest Chicago Bulls gear. He also lived up to his name by being a great cook and he would challenge anybody in a cook off. Stu-baby was so smooth that his grandma called him “Casanova” and he had a smile that would light up the entire room.

At the age of 33, Justin Stuart Sr. entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, March 9, 2021 in Nashville, AR. He will be remembered in our hearts forever.

Justin was preceded in death by his grandparents, Rudolph and Alma Draper, and his sister, Jessica Draper.

He leaves to cherish his memories: wife, Angelica Stuart; children, Angel Stuart, Destiny Stuart, Justin Stuart Jr., Kingsley Stuart and Malachi Hamilton; mother, Mary Harris; father, Rickie Draper Sr.; grandmother, Reola Morrison; brothers, Christopher Draper, Eddie Harris, Gary Harris, Quintin Stuart and Rickie Draper Jr.; sisters, Wanda Faye Williams and Sarah Stuart; uncles, Donald Draper, Ronnie Draper Sr., Johnny Keels, Malcolm Coulter, Hal Dean Scroggins; aunts, Nadine Morrison, Shirley Morrison, Bonnie Cunningham, Teresa Draper-Coward, Ellen Morrison, Barbara Coulter, Willie Mae Cook, Frances Scroggins and Shirley Miller; special cousin, David Williams; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
