The stack is a game zone, so it never goes away, or "ends". You are correct that both spells and abilities are put on the stack when they are cast, or activated, but "using the stack" doesn't really have any meaning unless you are talking about using a spell or ability.
The example you listed works just fine, except of course Garruk's player could opt to use his ability instead of passing. Once GArruk resolves, there is nothing on the stack, and so it is ignored until the next thing (in this case, Hexmage's ability) is put on it.

If your question is "What would a judge do is this situation?", only one person's answer is relevant, and that is the Head Judge at your event. I can quote the rules, but I don't know your HJ.
Once Ajani resolves, since it's your turn, you gain priority again to use one of his abilities. He can respond by sacing the Hexmage, which should kill Ajani, but since his ability is independant of his survival, it will still resolve.
