Stuart MCNAB

McNAB, Stuart Robert. It is with deep love and respect that we announce the passing of Stuart Robert McNab, who left us on 5 July 2026, aged 77. Stuart was the beloved husband of Jillian, father of Ben, Cathryn, and Alasdair, cherished Poppie to Lillie, Stevie, and Pippa, and beloved father-in-law to Lisa. Hailing from Waipawa, Central Hawke's Bay, Stuart's passion for art and design led him to a career as a graphic designer. Later in life, he became a dedicated lecturer, sharing his knowledge not only in design but also in faith. He was deeply passionate and knowledgeable about his faith in God, applying that same devotion to guiding others. The family offers heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported Stuart through his journey with pancreatic cancer, and who stood by our family in his final moments, especially the compassionate care of Hospice Waikato.

A celebration of Stuart's life will be held at a later date.
