Stu was born on Mother's Day, May 14, 1961 in Eldora, Iowa, the son of Richard and Marcia (Setchell) Pettigrew. He was raised in Eldora and graduated from Eldora High School with the Class of 1979.

Stu worked at Whink Products as a Warehouse & Shipping Manager for 35 years. He was a lifelong member of the Eldora United Methodist Church. Stu was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout Leader, an active member of the Eldora bowling, softball, golf and pool leagues and an avid poker player. He loved his Harley and riding it with his wife Marsha and his granddaughter Ellea. Stu and his brother Brad were a big comfort to their mother Marcia during her illness. Music was a big part of his life. He loved to sing and play guitar. Stu was known for his sense of humor and for being able to make anyone laugh. There were no strangers to Stu, only friends he hadn't met yet. Stu was a true family man. His true joy in life came from spending time with his family, especially his children and grandchildren. The time he spent with friends was precious to him as well.
