Vernon Stevenson

Vernon Stevenson, 85, passed away September 24, 2006 at his home in Ft.
Worth, Texas. He was born December 17, 1920 in Chireno, Texas to Thomas
Archie Stevenson and Minnie Lee Newberry Stevenson. He was the youngest of seven brothers and one sister who all preceded him in death.

Vernon was an Industrial Patternmaker and owned and operated his own business for over 60 years. He had a strong and honorable work ethic. He was a patriot who served in the US Navy during WWII as a machine gunner on a PBM Seaplane. He was a loving and devoted husband and father. Vernon enjoyed camping, fishing, and boating with his family. His wit, sense of humor, and laughter will be sorely missed by all. He was a soft spoken, gentle, man who exemplified patience and understanding and took great pride and joy in his son and daughters.

Vernon Stevenson is survived by his wife of 66 years, Sarah Kathleen
Stevenson, daughter Joycelyn Ann Nixon and son-in-law James Gus Nixon,
daughter Mary Janette Lancaster and son-in-law Robert A. Lancaster, and son Vernon Leslie Stevenson and daughter-in-law Ronelle Stevenson; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Vernon Stevenson was private in his conviction but, he loved God and
believed in the power of prayer.

"Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor. 4:16-18
