Stevie was a natural comedian. He loved a good laugh and could make you laugh at the drop of a hat! It would make his day. He also enjoyed fishing and working with his hands. Tennessee loved a home cooked meal and never missed one if he could help it. He would take the grandbabies fishing every chance he got and was able too. You could find him on the bank, or grilling his famous not so drunk chicken. Stevie was loved by all that knew him and he dearly loved his family and friends! He will be greatly missed.
