James Stevenson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Known for his kind heart and generous spirit, Buddy found happiness in doing for others, whether treating friends to supper-especially if catfish or steak was on the menu-or simply offering a helping hand. He was an avid fan of westerns and a faithful supporter of every sport his grandchildren played, cheering them on with pride and love.
Buddy is survived by his wife of 49 years, 7 months, and 20 days, Nancy (Ingram) Stevenson; sons, James Stevenson (Brandy), Adam Stevenson (Lindsay), Jared Stevenson (Kayla) and Abel Stevenson (Janae); grandchildren, Trey, Ryan, Max, Steele, Bella, Bryce, Barrett, Landry, Addison, Aden, Abram, Ainsley, Isaac, Ruby and Eli: and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Harold Stevenson; mother, Geraldine Nunn; step-father, Bob Norred: siblings, Douglas Norred, Bobby Norred, Francis Norred and Patricia Stevenson.
Friends may visit with the family at Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home Chapel in Jonesboro from 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM on Friday, November 21, 2025. The funeral service will begin at 1:00 PM with Bro. Casey Fenn officiating. Burial will follow in Antioch Cemetery near Quitman, under the direction of Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home.
Serving as pallbearers will be Trey, Ryan, Adam, Bryce, Jared, Aden, Abel and Isaac Stevenson.
