Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart dies at 79 Gordon Butch Stewart.
Gordon “Butch” Stewart, a pioneer in the tourism industry in the Caribbean and chairman of Sandals Resorts, died on Monday evening. He was 79.
His son, Adam Stewart, deputy chairman of Sandals, said in a statement the news seemed almost unbelievable since his father was as involved and forward thinking as ever.
Stewart said his father had chosen to keep a very recent health diagnosis private.
He described him as a gifted entrepreneur, a marketing genius and talented showman, and a dreamer who could dream bigger and better than anyone.
“Together, we have all been part of something bigger than ourselves, led by a man who believed in us and who gave us opportunities to learn, grow and the tools to make dreams real,” Stewart said.
