Our guest is Stewart Feketa.

 

Stewart is a man of faith, a family  man,  and a  very  successful  entrepreneur  and  businessman.

 

Most in our community know of Stewart’s involvement with Nature’s Keeper, a commercial landscape firm owned by his family with Staff of 40 employees and now know how this man, once battered by life’s storms, now stands as a beacon – a pastor who doesn’t just preach sermons but lives them. His scars tell a story of redemption. 

 

He is originally from Utica, New York, went to Clinton Senior High School and now resides in Fort Pierce, Florida with his wife Marcie Feketa.

 

Stewart is a pastor with Plant a Seed on the Water ministries. They preach by the Fort Pierce Marina every Sunday morning.

 

Community outreach is nothing new to Stewart as he has been heavily involved in helping his community in a variety of ways. He participated in fundraising for a teacher who had stage 4 cancer. He received Lifetime Achievement Award from St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. He was part of a Hurricane relief in Charlette County.

 

Stewart lost his daughter Santia Feketa when she and her best friend Brittany Poindexter were killed in a wrong-way crash in February 2018 by a 99-year-old Michigan man. The family has since created a scholarship in her honor to support students with the same passion as his daughter.

 

During this interview Stewart courageously shares other personal life events and life challenges he has survived and experienced.
