Joseph Stevenson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 25, 2025.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Joseph James Stevenson. He was the beloved eldest son of James W. Stevenson, Kathy and Richard Schnitzer. He was the cherished first grandson of Evelyn Stevenson, Lavinia and Joseph Wall (preceded).

Joe was brother to Dawn Bonner, James W. Stevenson II, and David Defalco.

He was father to Stacey Lynn (preceded), and Richard, a proud grandfather to Richard, Brynlee, and Collin. May the memory of her father bring Nikki Clark comfort and grandfather to Chelcy (preceded), Chasity, Chalie, and Nicholas, and great-grandfather to Athena.

Born on Long Island, New York, Joe moved to Florida in 1977. He enjoyed playing and watching sports, game shows, playing pool, poker and Texas Hold'em.

Joe retired as a Fire and Pest Control Inspector with the Osceola County School Board. He was dedicated, hardworking, and had a great sense of humor.

Joe will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
