Dear Sligh Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Stuart was a terrific person and I am thankful that I had the pleasure of watching him grow up. I will always have fond memories of the conversations me and Stuart had, and will never forget how kind and sincere he was. I know we will all miss him so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

- Richard Cesar, Madison, WI

I was not lucky enough to know Stuart very well because I was a senior at SCDS when he was a 7th grader. However, I remember hearing what a wonderful football and baseball player he was in middle school. I was fortunate enough to be able to see him play at quarterback and linebacker this past year at SCDS on varsity.The one thing I remember about watching him play was that he played with a ton of heart and determination. He was a great player and played the way great hornet players should play the game. Also, I have only heard wonderful things about his character and personality. Everybody really loved having Stuart around. He made people happy. That's a wonderful ability that we will all miss very much. My memories of Stuart as a player and person are shared by numerous other friends of mine that saw Stuart grow up at SCDS. He was a great person in every facet of life.He will always be remembered as one of the finest hornets. Just know he will never be forgotten in the SCDS community.

- Sandy and Mark Lovell, Savannah, GA

Stuart was an amazing person who was always so kind to everybody! I knew him very well and every time I talked to him, he always made me laugh! He was an AMAZING athlete as well as a very smart student. It is very hard for me to watch Stuart go, but if God thinks that it is the right time for him to go, then it must be. Once again, Stuart was a friend of mine who I will always remember for as long as I live. Bye Stu. I will miss you so much, but I know that you are in a better place now. Alex
