On Friday July 22, 2016, John Jeffrey Stevenson Jr. and Donna Marie Adams Stevenson passed away, following a tragic car accident. John was 25 years old and Donna Marie was 24 years old.
They were rare and special people, that radiated their humor, love, and joy with all they knew. JJ had an incredible work ethic, a wonderful sense of humor, loved playing video games, and spending time with family and friends. Donna Marie was passionate about photography, politically outspoken, an avid Buffalo Bills fan, and loved animals. Her hair and makeup were as ever changing and vibrant as her personality. JJ and Donna Marie were presidential honor roll students, graduating from Lecanto High School. JJ earned an associate's degree from College of Central Florida. They were surrounded by their family and friends at their wedding and celebrated their first wedding anniversary this January. JJ had a love for fantasy and science fiction, was a talented writer, and had a deep passion for literature. JJ was dedicated to his wife and loved spending time with her. They loved anime, Star Wars, Pokemon, superheroes, Cosplay, all things fantastical and Harry Potter. They were soul mates from the moment they met and will remain so for eternity. JJ is survived by his parents, John Jeffrey and Candace "Honey" Stevenson, as well as two grandmothers, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Donna is survived by her parents, Brian and Linda Adams, and her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, Branden, Victoria and Bryce Adams, as well loving grandparents.
