Remembering Mark Stuart
The Crest family was saddened by the recent passing of Mark Stuart. Many won’t recognize the name, but Mark was one of those people who worked behind the scenes to make Crest a better company for us all. Mark was the President of Bren - nan and Stuart – our insurance broker for the better part of the last three decades. He helped us become self-funded for health insurance, which has been key to us not raising our rates for the last five years. He was the guy who stepped forward when contract language with a customer put our business in jeopardy after the tornado and took the initiative to figure out how to get us covered. He embraced Crest cul - ture just as much as we do and in every way was indeed part of the Crest family.
Mark’s story was that of the home town boy done well. He grew up in LaSalle, was a high school and college football star, came back home to enthusiastically take the reins of the family business and was the gracious – hum- ble – successful type of guy that all were drawn to. He loved working and playing with generations of his own fam- ily. He loved the outdoors in almost any form. To Crest – he was a supplier of the year, a resource for general business knowledge and a very good friend. He lived his life so well. God’s speed Mark Stuart…you will be deeply missed.
