FAMILY MEANT EVERYTHING TO STEVENSON, HE WAS A DEVOTED FATHER AND GRANDFATHER.

ONE OF STEVENSON'S JOSEPH GARRICK JR. MOST REMARKABLE QUALITIES WAS HIS WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR. WHETHER IT WAS A WITTY REMARK OR A HILARIOUS JOKE, HE HAD A WAY FOR BRINGING SMILES TO THE FACES OF EVERYONE HE ENCOUNTERED. HIS LAUGHTER WAS INFECTIOUS, AND HIS JOKES COULD LIGHTEN EVEN THE HEAVIEST OF HEARTS.

BUT BEYOND HIS HUMOR, STEVENSON JOSEPH GARRICK JR. WAS A DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE INDIVIDUAL. HE HAD A GENUINE WARMTH AND KINDNESS THAT TOUCHED THE LIVES OF ALL WHO KNEW HIM. HE HAD A WAY OF MAKING PEOPLE FEEL SEEN AND UNDERSTOOD, AND HIS LOVE KNEW NO BOUNDS.

STEVENSON JOSEPH GARRICK JR. LOVED TO FISH, FINDING HAPPINESS AND JOY IN THE PEACEFULNESS OF NATURE AND SHARING THOSE MOMENTS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

AND WHO COULDN'T FORGET STEVENSON'S LOVE FOR RIDING HIS SCOOTER EVERYWHERE?

THOUGH STEVENSON MAY NO LONGER BE WITH US IN BODY, HIS JOYFUL SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON IN THE HEARTS OF ALL WHO WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KNOW HIM. LET US HONOR HIS MEMORY BY CARRYING FORWARD HIS LEGACY OF LOVE, LAUGHTER, AND COMPASSION.

REST IN PEACE, STEVENSON JOSEPH GARRICK JR., KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE LEFT AN MEMORABLE MARK ON THIS WORLD AND THAT YOUR SPIRIT WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE BRIGHTLY IN THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU TOUCHED.
