He was a dedicated father to his daughter, Grace Olene Stewart, and enjoyed spending his free time hunting, fishing, and working on small engines and woodwork.
His sudden death left his family and friends in deep mourning.
The circumstances surrounding Jeffery's death were initially reported as a home invasion. On the night of July 26, 2022, Samantha Stewart, Jeffery's 32-year-old wife, called 911 and claimed that an intruder had broken into their residence and killed her husband. However, upon investigation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the Corrigan Police Department, inconsistencies in Samantha's story began to emerge. After interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence, the authorities arrested Samantha Stewart and charged her with the murder of her husband, Jeffery Mark Stewart.
Samantha Stewart was held on a $500,000 bond and was later sentenced to 45 years in prison for the murder of her husband. The investigation revealed that Samantha had been having an online affair, which was identified as the motive behind the crime. During the course of the investigation, Samantha confessed to killing Jeffery, and a plea agreement was reached with the Polk County District Attorney's Office. In exchange for her guilty plea, Samantha received a 45-year sentence, avoiding a potential life sentence.
