Stuart J. Scesney

November 4,1965 – August 7, 2024

Stuart Scesney, age 58, beloved brother and friend to many, was released from his earthly shell and escorted to the Ultimate Party in Heaven.

Please be glad for him as there is no more pain nor struggle to breathe, just joy and happiness, lots of reuniting with loved ones and we are certain, unlimited seafood for Stu!

Stu’s parents, Anthony J. Scesney(1981) and Gladys H. Scesney’s homecoming(2008) came years ago-claiming and staking out heavenly turf, setting up the Family Forever Homestead, to be prepared for loved ones , when invitations were issued.

Stu is survived by his brother, Bart Scesney (Cheri) and sister, Barbara Scesney-Johnson (Russell), all of Ashburn,VA.

He had beloved nephews, Brad Johnson (Monica) and Max Johnson and niece Olivia Scesney-Koslosky (Adam).

Stu also had a great nephew, Weston whom he had not yet met face to face, who did however sing-song him a get well ballad via Facetime that brought happy-tears to Stu’s eyes last week: “Get better Uncle GREAT Hulk Stu!”

Stu had had emergency-5 way bypass surgery in 2002 and was told that he could only expect to live 5 years, maximally however Stu CRUSHED IT and pressed on to live 22 years! His doctors and he himself marveled and referred to Stu as their CHF Poster Boy! Survivor and Thriver!

This past year had been rough and every breath he breathed was a battle won victory. But, determined to continue to influence and encourage others, specifically his CHF Support Group Network, which he had established on FB, Stu fueled himself with the joy and happiness he found living in “his cabin in nature, poolside” with his 5 cats and various now domesticated woodland creatures whom he named and who visited him regularly. Additionally, he loved visiting his recently re-homed dog, Bailey. Stu’s fond memories of his first dog, Fawn, are happily now being realized as we have no doubt that she was a big part of Stu’s Welcome Home!

Stu graduated from Dulaney High School (1983) and then Broadcast Institute of Baltimore. He applied for and earned the coveted position as the “PR and Promotions Guy” for 98 ROCK! He could frequently be seen driving the attention grabbing 98 ROCK! van through town, window down, big smile and waving to all, as he drove to or from various promotional functions.

Stu held various freelance jobs and then took a position with a non-profit, Cystic Fibrosis Association.

The crown jewel of Stuart J. Scesney’s career was the creation and launching of his successful modeling and casting agency: STU’s CASTING. His lifelong authentic appreciation of and eye for beautiful women served him well and thanks to his Angel Investor and amazing friend was lucrative and lots of fun for many.

Based upon his knowledge, experience and industry savvy garnered Stu wrote and published a book to inform the public of the potential industry perils: HOW TO ENTER THE WORLD OF CASTING AND MODELING WITHOUT GETTING RIPPED OFF (still available online and electronically).

A private family only dedication will be held -followed by a Celebration of Life (August 21st 4-7 pm @ Hightopps in Timonium) which we would be remiss in not calling a STU- abration!

We will toast Stu, gather in fellowship and share funny stories, love and laughter, as we honor this kindhearted very observant and funny man!

In lieu of flowers, we ask that those who are so inspired donate to THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, in Stuart Scesney’s name and honor.
