Larry Lee Stephens

     Larry Lee Stephens, 40, of Marion, passed away on Friday, March 28, at Mission Memorial Hospital in Asheville. Larry was born in Georgia to his mother, Elaine Bussey, along with his sisters Maryanne, Lindsey, and Amanada—Go Dawgs!—and is survived by his wife, Jennifer Stephens, as well as his life partner, Summer Cable. He is deeply loved by all his children: Cameron Stephens, Samantha Smith, Ryus Cody, Sebastian Hughes, Simon Cable, and Isabella Walker.

     Larry had a love for animals, music, and Dodge trucks. He enjoyed taking night drives and making those around him laugh. He was passionate about working with his hands, channeling his creative energy into a career in woodworking. Larry will be greatly missed. As Superman said, a true hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere and endure everything they face.

     Services will be held on Friday, April 4th, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Beam Funeral Service & Crematory. At the request of Larry from the Superhero Fandom, everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite superhero t-shirt to the memorial service.
