Stephen Johnston, 55, passed away on December 3, 2025. He was born on August 23, 1970, to Margarette Johnston and was a resident of the Amory area. Stephen attended Amory schools and was a member of Mount Zion Church.

He enjoyed the simple things that brought him peace and joy. He loved swimming, tending to his gardening, and spending quiet time listening to podcasts—always eager to learn something new or hear a good story. His presence will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were blessed to be part of his life.

Stephen is survived by his Mother, Margarette Johnston; Aunts, Sarah Morgan, Derenda Foreman (Mark), Dee Johnston; Uncle, Rick Johnston (Shelia); and a host of cousins.

He is preceded in death by his Grandparents, Bro. Harold Johnston and Nell Johnson; and Uncle, Harold Johnston.
