In Loving Memory of Tomitka Stewart: A Celebration of Life

Donation protected
Who We Are and Why We Are Doing This: We are a family-owned team, managing multiple Jersey Mike's locations in the Greater Milwaukee area. Our team extends beyond the roles of employees; we are a close-knit family, connected through our shared experiences and the strong bonds we have formed. At this moment, we find ourselves reaching out to our community, seeking support during an incredibly challenging period.

The reason behind our outreach is the heart-wrenching loss of Tomitka Stewart, our Assistant District Manager, who was not only a pillar of strength, dedication, and kindness within our Jersey Mike's family but also a symbol of resilience and hope. Tomitka, who had moved from Tennessee to Milwaukee in search of better opportunities for herself and her family, tragically had her life cut short. Her death, currently under investigation as a homicide related to domestic violence, has left a void in our hearts and the lives of all her children. In the face of this tragedy, Elizabeth, Tomitka's sister, has stepped up with remarkable courage and determination to care for the children and guide them through this difficult transition.

We aim to gather support to assist Elizabeth in relocating and providing for Tomitka's children, covering the costs of the memorial and burial, and ensuring the family receives the necessary support during this time. We also wish to secure a dignified burial for Tomitka in Milwaukee, beside her son who passed away in 2006. This initiative is a testament to our collective spirit and commitment to standing on our own during the most trying times.

About Tomitka Stewart: Tomitka Stewart was more than an Assistant District Manager to us; she was a cherished member of our Jersey Mike's family. Her dedication to improving her life and the lives of those around her was evident in everything she did. Tomitka's work ethic, leadership, and generosity left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

Since learning of Tomitka's passing, we have been in close contact with her sister Elizabeth, offering our support to ensure Tomitka's memory is honored, and her children are cared for. We have also arranged grief counseling for our team, recognizing the profound effect Tomitka's loss has had on us all.

How You Can Help: Your donation will directly support Tomitka's family during this unimaginable time, helping to cover the costs associated with her memorial and burial, and providing for her children's needs as they adjust to life without their mother. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in the lives of Tomitka's family.

We also ask for your prayers and thoughts for Tomitka's loved ones during this period of mourning and adjustment. Together, we can ensure that Tomitka's spirit and legacy live on through the love and care we extend to her family.

In Closing: Tomitka Stewart's life was a testament to the power of resilience, love, and dedication. As we come together to support her family, we honor her memory and commit to standing by them in their time of need. Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support.
