Stephens and Rose Clement Stephens, two brothers and one sister.

He will live in the hearts of his wife of fifty-four years, Helen Piper Stephens, Bonaire; children, Suzanne Millard (John), Georgia Stephens, both Cullman, Alabama, Michael Stephens, Orange Park, Florida, and Lisa Hill (Rick), Bonaire; grandchildren, Michelle Pennington, Chip Graham, Avery Hill, OS3 Christopher Stephens USN, Brittney Hill and Erin Hill; five great-grandchildren; sister, Caroline Wilson, Mississippi; and a number of nieces and nephews, until they meet in Heaven.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date in Cullman.
