Scott Stevens
1961-12-14 2014-04-02
Scott Stevens passed away at the age of 53 on April 2, 2014, in Bisbee, Arizona after succumbing to complications from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He had been battling with the illness since 1999.
He left behind his father Clark Stevens (Jo Beth); mother Lavaun Stevens; his three sisters and their spouses, Vickie Stevens (Steve), Catherine Stevens-Meraz (Henry), and Jennifer Cartledge (Frank); seven beloved nieces and nephews, Stacy (Ray) Armenta, Caleb Griffiths, Alyssa Toledo, Marissa Meraz, Angelique Iglesias, Mateo Iglesias, and Ramon Armenta, as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
Scott attended schools in Iowa, where he won numerous awards in swimming, football, wrestling, and track. Scott went on to graduate from Northeast Missouri State University with a Bachelor's degree in computer science. He then worked for Southwestern Bell/ATT in St Louis, Missouri, as a computer programmer for over 20 years. He eventually relocated to Arizona to be closer to his immediate family, who tended to his care during his final years along with his beloved caregivers.
Scott loved to laugh and he will forever be remembered for his beautiful smile, his sense of humor and his generous spirit. He will also be remembered for the dignity and courage he showed each and everyday during times of great adversity. Scott loved his friends and family, he cherished his Friday night poker games with the "guys" he monitored others with MS, and he truly was an inspiration to those who knew him.
A Celebration of Life service will be announced at another date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to BBFI (Baptist Bible Fellowship Intl) Mission Office,
PO Box 802757, Kansas City, MO 64180-2757, designated to Lance and Melanie Gotcher, Missionaries to the Philippines.
