Homer M. Stevens was born June 18, 1925 in Parowan, Utah to Joseph Ervin Stevens and Violet Matheson and died on June 3, 2021 just 2 weeks before his 96th birthday. Homer grew up in Southern Utah where times were hard and much was expected of a small boy. He was often left at home to do all the farm chores while his father was out sheering sheep for extra income. As a teen he attended the original Brigham Young High School in Provo Utah. He was drafted into the Army at the age of 18 and served on the front lines of WWII. After being initially based in Oregon, he was transferred to San Luis Obispo, CA where his life would be forever changed. At a church meeting a beautiful young lady named Patricia came up and introduced herself and invited him to dinner. One and a half years later, after his deployment in the European Theater, in 1945 they were married in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Pat and Homer had 5 children 3 boys and 2 girls. Ronald Stevens (Jeanine), Roger Stevens (Gayle), Gary Stevens (Dori), Kerrie Yeafoli (John) and LaRae Claybrook (Gary). Several years later in1952, Homer was able to secure a job with El Paso Natural Gas Company (now known as Williams company). He retired in 1983 as Superintendent of the Plymouth, WA gas plant. He loved hunting and fishing but most of all playing pool. He won trophies and was quite the pool shark. Earning extra money when he needed it. He loved serving in the church and had many varied responsibilities throughout the years. Homer and Pat served 3 missions for the church in their later years. He was a loving husband and father and left behind 4 more generations including 25 grandchildren, and 60 plus great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. Homer is preceded in death by the love of his life Patricia, his parents, a daughter-in-law Deborah Stevens and grandson Mark Stevens.
