James Robert Stephenson, known to his friends and family as Jim, was born in 1946 in Ohio. He spent his youth in Indiana, where he met the love of his life, Vicki. They shared many adventures and were happily married for over 55 years. Together, Jim and his beautiful wife raised three wonderful children: Staci, Brian, and Jeff. He was so proud of his children and would share their accomplishments with everyone he met. Grandchildren, Bella and Tanner, also brought so much joy and childlike wonder to his life. He was always a big kid at heart!
When Jeff met and married Jessy, Jim immediately welcomed her into the family with the excitement of gaining another daughter. His love truly knew no limits.
Jim was a kind hearted soul with a fun loving and sarcastic wit. He never shied away from talking to anyone whose path he crossed and often left those individuals smiling and laughing. He loved sports, travel, and his family, and had a huge impact on all who met him. Those who loved him always knew he loved you more. Jim will be greatly missed by all.
