Mr. Ramon D. Stewart

Ramon D. Stewart was born in Kansas City, Kansas, at KU Medical Center to Ronald Foster and Reba Stewart on September 22, 1980. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Charles and Della Stewart, his paternal grandparents, Earl and Fannie Foster, uncles, Earl, Jr., Rodney Sr., Ricky, Sr. and Darryl Foster; his cousins, Shannon Stewart and Damon Foster. His early life was spent in the Kansas City area, where he made many memories and lifelong friends in Sycamore Groves. He later moved to the Raytown area and graduated from Raytown High School in 1998, where his creativity, humor, and love for people became evident to everyone who knew him. From an early age, he knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur and work with his hands. It came as no surprise when he attended Heritage College to pursue his passion for beauty and artistry. There, he became a certified and licensed makeup artist and esthetician, graduating in 2011. Ramon’s professional journey reflected both his artistry and his work ethic. He worked with several world-renowned beauty brands, including Lancôme and bareMinerals, and made history as one of the first Black male makeup artists at MAC Cosmetics on the Plaza in Kansas City. His vibrant personality, unmatched skill, and love for helping others feel beautiful left a lasting impression on everyone he met. After leaving MAC, King of Plastics (KOP) Beauty was born in 2018, a brand that represented his confidence, creativity, and dedication to helping others feel beautiful inside and out. The name perfectly captured his fearless style and larger than life spirit. Ramon’s passion and talent did not go unnoticed. In 2022, he was proudly recognized as the Kansas City People’s Choice Awards Winner for Best Makeup Artist, a testament to his excellence, reputation, and the love his community had for his craft. Ramon continued his passion for makeup and esthetics up until his final month. He departed this life peacefully at St. Luke’s Hospice House on October 23, 2025.
