In 2019, Lyle delivered an outstanding Easter statement about his faith. In true understated Lyle fashion, he said he knew when this day came, “I’ll be okay.” Enjoy your gift, my friend.

We have lost a unique impactful soul who was what the kids today would say was “built different”. I have been very fortunate to be a part of the Stewart family through my amazing wife Stephanie Batstone. Lyle made a difference in Saskatchewan, has a legacy of beautiful kids.
