James Ray Stevens, 84, of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away on June 25, 2024.
Born August 2, 1939 in Clairton, PA son of the late James and Louise Stevens. Jim who was a proud Navy Veteran, lived a very fulfilling life. Friends and family knew Jim best for his ability and enthusiasm to fix, repair and improve any and everything. It stemmed from his time in the service paired with a successful career journey working for both US Steel and General Motors.
Jim will be remembered by his favorite hobbies, especially RVing and traveling with his wife Ruth (Cochenour) Stevens. Jim spent much of his time on his prized passion of golf. He was well respected in tournament play and had recorded one ace (hole-in-one) in his career. Jim was a proud member of several fraternal organizations including, Freemasons (33rd degree) and a dedicated Elks Lodge Member.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents; sister Mary Ann Cleary; brothers Robert Stevens and George Grimes; and stepson Michael P Venuto. Jim is survived by his wife Ruth Stevens, Moxie (the Dog) Sons; Chris Stevens (Ventura, CA) and Brandon Stevens (Wife Judy) of Japan, sister Janice McGowan (South Park, PA), grandchildren; Elizabeth Venuto (SLC, UT), Ross Venuto (Erie, PA), Christian of Japan and many dear friends who loved Jim. Arrangements are being held private. In lieu of flowers Donations can be made to the Disabled American Veterans in James Stevens’ name.
