Edward “Bud” Stephens, 90, of Brunswick, departed this life Sunday, June 16, 2024 at his residence surrounded by his loving family. Born August 17, 1933 in Brunswick, Georgia to Samuel Rufus and Fannie Johnson Stephens, he was life long resident to the city he loved.

Mr. Stephens was a member of College Place Methodist Church. He loved golf, was fortunate to have played the old course at St. Andrews, Scotland and one of his proudest achievements were his two hole in ones. He also loved the Georgia Bulldogs and classic Ford cars, especially Thunderbirds. As a young man, he enjoyed drag racing, and his love of cars carried on throughout his life. He enjoyed welding and building things in his shop. His greatest love however, was his family, his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
