Andrew Parker Stephens, 26, of Macon, Georgia passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 26, 2024. A funeral service to honor his life will be held on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at 11:00 am at Liberty Church. The family invites friends to join them for a time of visitation one hour prior to the service. Immediately following, Andrew will be laid to rest in Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. Pastor Jack Osburn will officiate the services.
Andrew was born on July 1, 1997, in Macon, Georgia to Mr. Eugene Walter Stephens, Jr and Mrs. Paige Thompson Stephens. As a child, he and his family attended Liberty United Methodist Church. He obtained the rank of Eagle Scout. Andrew graduated from Stratford Academy in 2015 and went on to earn his Bachelors of Logistics and Supply Chain Management from Georgia Southern University. He then relocated to Marietta, where he took great pride in his role as a Sub-Contract Management Senior for Lockheed Martin. He made many lasting relationships with his friends and coworkers and cherished each one of them. Andrew had an exceptional talent in Sport Shooting. He spent many days skeet shooting, and long-range target shooting. He enjoyed learning to play golf, playing the guitar, singing, and had a soft spot for all animals. Above all, spending time with his friends and family is what meant most to him. Andrew will be missed tremendously by those who had the honor of knowing and loving him.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Eugene Walter Stephens, Sr. and Suellen English Stephens, Paul Eddie Thompson and Jacquelyn Creech Thompson; uncles, Ronny Stephens, Alan Stephens, Tony Thompson, Todd Thompson, and Greg Thompson.
Left to cherish Andrew's memory are his parents, Gene and Paige Stephens; and his sister, Madelyn Stephens.

I am so sorry to hear about Andrew. I only started to work with Andrew for few months, but he was always willing to help whenever I reached out for assistance. He had a heart of gold.

My prayers are with all of you.

Andrew was my unofficial "Buddy" when I first joined Lockheed Martin. He taught me the ropes and always encouraged me to have confidence in my dealings in life, whether personal or professional.

I feel like I got to see glimpses of who he really was deep down. He always had a gruff exterior, but the truth was he had a heart of gold. I look forward again to seeing him again in Heaven.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Andrew's passing. Andrew had a vibrant spirit and a kind heart. He always found a time to help his teammates. I fondly remember Andrew's infectious laugh whenever we'd joke about me outrunning him in my Ford Maverick against his F-150. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with Andrew's family. He will be deeply missed.

Was Andrews supervisor at GPD. He was a hard worker and a delight to be around. So sad that he is gone but God has his reasons even if we dont fuuly understand them. I will be praying for his family during this unimaginable pain they have to be feeling.

Prayers for the Stephens Family and Andrew´s friends. He will be greatly missed by many. I have so many memories of Andrew but a few that come to mind are the time he rescued Merle the squirrel and had him as a pet, when he would wear his aviators and tell me Bradley in Top Gun stole his look, his Ostrich boots, and so many more memories. He would tell me he was having peanut butter and jelly for lunch so often that I started calling it the Andrew special. We shared many similar beliefs and he always made me laugh. Go rest high on that mountain Andrew, you will be thought of often.

Paige, Gene, and Madelyn, I'm so very sorry to learn of Andrew's untimely passing! I have no words at times like these! I loved Andrew since he and Matthew became good friends at school and even more through Boy Scouts. I will have you all covered in heart felt prayers as you travel this journey of grief. Andrew, you'll now be at the best shooting/target range there is precious one! Much love, Alleyne

I remember the day I meet Andrew. He had a baby face with an old soul. He sat at the desk next to me and I asked him if he was 12 years old ( He did laugh barely). Then came COVID and we chatted daily and traded weekend stories of doing absolutely nothing. During the end of COVID I saw Andrew in the office and I noticed he was sporting a mustache. He said do I still look 12? We both laughed.
I will miss our daily conversations , his clever wit and his sarcasm. I wish things were different, and I wonder if I coulda said something to change things.

And Yes you will always have that baby face

Rest in Paradise my good friend.
