Wilbur StevensI am a Veteran.

of Searcy, AR

April 13, 1945 - February 2, 2025

Wilbur Lamar Stevens, age 79, went home to meet his Lord on February 2, 2025 surrounded by family in Searcy, Arkansas.

He was born on Friday the 13th in April 1945, the son of James William and Edna Mae Stevens in West Helena, Arkansas. He was one of six children.

Wilbur served in the Army and was a Vietnam veteran. He was a member of Park Avenue Church and had served in several positions. Wilbur was a Sunday School teacher for years who loved his class deeply. He also helped cook for Awana Clubs on Wednesdays, which was special to him. He loved seeing all the kids who came to know Jesus through Awana.

Wilbur worked thirty-six years for Southwestern Bell and AT&T doing telephone installation and repair. After taking early retirement he felt he was too young to retire, so he started his own business doing telephone installation and repair for ten more years.

Wilbur is preceded in death by his parents and three brothers, Calvin, Mike and Richard Stevens.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years Bernell Stevens; two children, Jason Carmichael (Erin) of Carrollton, Georgia and Melissa Morris (Jason) of Searcy, Arkansas; six grandchildren, Abigayle and Addyson Morris of Searcy, Arkansas, Brady, Rylan, McKenna and Keegan Carmichael of Carrollton, Georgia; one brother, Tommy Stevens of Southaven, Mississippi; one sister, Betty Harris of Mt. View, Arkansas; as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and his beloved church family.
