He changed a picture of a candle and added the words “Rest in Peace” to the final frame of the image so that he could deliver the unfortunate news to his viewers.
“It is with tremendous grief that I announce the loss of my brother Bob last night, who joins my brother Don on the vast football pitch in the sky,” he began his post on Facebook. “It is with great anguish that I announce the loss of my brother Don yesterday night.” It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that my brother Don passed away unexpectedly last night.
“Over the course of the past two months, I’ve had to say farewell to two of my dearest friends. Don and Bob, two friends who will never be forgotten, rest in peace knowing you were irreplaceable.
The decedent’s followers and friends have been quick to share their condolences and well wishes with the community at large.

The news that Stewart’s oldest brother, Don, had passed away in September came just two days before the announcement that Queen Elizabeth II had also left this world.

On Tuesday, we said our final goodbyes to my brother Don, who lived to the ripe old age of 94; today, we said our final goodbyes to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who lived to the ripe old age of 96.
