Jackie “Jack” Lee Stevens
Jackie Lee Stevens, 80, of Huntington, WV, was called Home Sunday March 8th, 2026 at Kings Daughter’s Medical Center, in Ashland, KY. He was met there by his mother and father, Trudy and Burgess Stevens, of Wayne, WV; and his siblings who had gone on before him: John T, Timmy, Sammy, Susie, Judy and Vernon.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 56 years, Cookie; his siblings: Roxie Akers, Jesse Stevens, Mark Stevens, David (Lynn) Stevens, Burgess “Bo” (Penny) Stevens, and Renee (Mike) Smith; his children, Tammy (Mike) Smith, Missy Stevens, Chris (Kayde) Stevens, Tracy (John) Sharp, and Nancy (Ronnie) Lusk; his 14 grandchildren, Cassy Sommerville, Kaitlyn (Randy) Elliott, Justin (Montana) Stevens, Derrek (Katie) Wright, Tyler (Kyana) Stevens, Madison (Leonard) Anderscavage, Emily (TJ) McGinnis, Caleb Stevens, Joshua Stevens, Lukas Sharp, Keaton Stevens, Kaylee Stevens, Abigail Lusk, and Riley Stevens; his 11 great grandchildren he lovingly dubbed “George” but are better known as Braylen, Axel, Connor, Easton, Charlotte, Nolan, Rory, Sebastian, Tommy, Tatum, and Archer; his newest blessing, due to arrive in July; and nieces and nephews so numerous the human mind cannot comprehend.
Jack was born August 23, 1945 at his home on Hensley Branch, in Wayne, WV. He attended primary school at the Staley School on Whites Creek before graduating Buffalo High School, class of 1963.
After graduation he was drafted into the US Army where he proudly served his country from 1965 through 1968, in the Vietnam War. After his time in the service he built a life centered around Christ, family, hard work, and the simple joys that meant the most to him. He retired from environmental services at the VA Medical Center in Huntington, WV after 18 years.
Jack was a member of Kenova Church of Christ, where he enjoyed leading singing and teaching Sunday school classes when his children were young. He also found happiness on the lake, fishing; on the golf course, softball field, and looking for Bigfoot.
He always had the radio set to the Oldies station and the TV on whatever ballgame was playing at the time. Recently, he had developed a fascination with extreme lawn makeovers and constantly sent Cookie out after new lawn decorations so he could enjoy the view from his favorite spot, the swing.
Jack loved so fiercely and made sure no one ever went without. He never met a stranger. Above all, Jack will be remembered as a man who loved his family deeply and took pride in every generation that followed him. His presence will be dearly missed but loved ones will carry on his stories, sharing his love of Christ, family, sports, and the outdoors; and keeping an eye out for Sasquatch — just in case he finally found the proof he was looking for.
He would want us all to remember him with laughter, take comfort in the fact he is at Home with the Lord, and not cry, because “That’s stupid…”
The family will receive visitors Friday, March 13th, 2026 at noon, at Kenova Church of Christ. 1801 Chestnut Street, Kenova, WV, with services at 1pm with Bro. Joe Pratt and Bro. Amos Prince presiding. Internment will take place at Spring Valley Memorial Gardens following services.
