Stuart Donald McNitt, son of Ralph R. (1914-2005) and Gene (Galvin) (1916-2011) McNitt, was born 12 May 1957 in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan. Stuart graduated from Okemos High School in 1975. He died 27 August 1990 in Lansing, Ingham County.
Both of Stuart's parents were interred in Foote Cemetery, Williamston, Ingham County. Gene, Stuart's mother, was a member of Okemos Community Church for over 50 years. Her great uncle helped to build the first chapel on that property and her ancestors were the Kirkpatrick family who were the original settlers of Okemos. Her mother was the first white child born in Okemos. (Information taken from Gene's obituary in the Lansing State Journal)
