Carl Stevens Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Royer's New Salem Funeral Home - Independence on Dec. 23, 2025.
Carl Lee Stevens, of Independence, Missouri, passed away on Monday, December 15th.

He was preceded in death by his father, Lee Stevens, and his wife, Christine Stevens.

Carl is survived by his loving family: his daughter Stephanie and her husband Mike, his son Eric and his wife Angelina, six cherished grandchildren, two precious great-grandchildren, his mother Jane, and his sisters Christine and Cheryl.

Carl was known for his easygoing nature, and he was liked by nearly everyone he met. An avid Hot Wheels collector and lifelong classic muscle car enthusiast, Carl found joy in the simple things. He also loved spending time fishing and visiting the casino, enjoying each moment at his own relaxed pace.

Carl's warmth and laughter will be deeply missed. He leaves behind a legacy of quiet strength and will be forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
