Rest easy Mr. Stephenson!! It was a pleasure meeting you and Mrs. Stephenson when I would come to work on your computers. Always had a warm cup of coffee for me and some good laughs! Take care. You will definitely be missed.

It is with great sadness for Michelle and Eric, and their families, that we say goodbye to their wonderful Father and friend. It was an honor to have known Ron and I will always remember him with love and joy. When I needed support and kindness the Stephenson family were there for me. Ron made me laugh and taught me a few things I needed to learn. I will forever remember his jokes and smile. Heaven just got an upgrade.
Ron and Paula were my second set of parents back in 1982 when I came to work for Ron. I learned so much from both of them. When Paula went to heaven, Ron was there to talk to and provide an encouraging word. I have much love and fond memories and will miss Mr. Ron terribly.
Ron and Paula were our neighbors and from the day we moved in they treated us like family they had known forever. I enjoyed seeing their smiling faces every morning and long visits in their home. Ron always had such interesting stories and a great sense of humor. Even in his darkest hours he was positive and forward thinking. My daughter Emma was spoiled by Ron with love, attention, sweets and treats! We will miss Ron dearly, our neighborhood won’t be the same without him. As Emma says “I miss our best buddy Ron who is in heaven”
We became closer when my buddy lost his sweetheart and my “second Momma” Paula. We sent each other little gifts often things that expressed our faith. I am so grateful for the short time I did have getting to know him a little better and though very sad he is gone (because I know his family and I will miss him dearly), I am thrilled he will be with the love of his life once again. One of the very best men you could ever know in your entire life and I was lucky enough to know him. Hugs Michelle and Eric and Chuck, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
The world has lost a kind and caring man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Ron. I met Ron through Baylor. I partnered with Ron to provide staffing for the large records move and it was history from there! We became very good friends! I loved hearing his stories, visiting with him at Baylor and looked up to him. I even surprised him with a collectible for his vintage model car collection! He was an amazing man and he will be someone that I will never forget in my lifetime.
I had the honor of working with Ron in his later years and was amazed at the recovery he made from an incredibly serious, frankly could have / should have been fatal, accident he suffered.
He moved one direction, "straight ahead, full speed ahead" and that took him a very long way.
I'm in health care and if I can't make the Memorial Service due to scheduling I'll down a dozen oysters at S & D or a BBQ plate at Big Al's in your memory Ron !
