Obituary

Kenneth Eugene Stephens, age 85, went to be with our Lord on January 31, 2024. He was born in Lacoochee, FL, and lived most of his life in Dade City, FL. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Lacoochee where he served as a deacon, music director, and Sunday School teacher, he loved his church family and was found there whenever the doors were open. Ken grew up in Dade City, he attended school there but graduated from Warner Robins High School in Warner Robins, GA. He enlisted in the Air Force at age 17. He was very proud of the time he spent in the military. He spent most of his years as a postman in Dade City and enjoyed his career. He loved to be outdoors and spending time in nature. He loved his family and friends and wanted to be surrounded with them as often as possible. You could always find him talking, joking, and making new friends. He loved eating breakfast at the Black Eyed Pea, and enjoyed the people there. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Ernestine V. Stephens, his children Travis Stephens, and Jennifer Leal (Jesse Leal). He has 5 grandchildren, Mitch, Cason, Ryan, Ashley and Josh, and one great grandson. He loved being surrounded by family.
