I'm quite late to finding out about this, but it's quite awful to learn. I was hoping he'd be able to complete his documentary of Gary Kildall, but that may never happen now.

He died on December 28th of last year from the flu.

Rest in peace, Stewart.

He will be missed. His positive impact in the world cannot be overstated.
