Steve Thackston Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate Steve Thackston of Decatur, Georgia, whose life came to an end on July 1, 2025 at the age of 65, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid Steve farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Steve is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his brother Mark Kinsland Thackston; and his father William M. "Bill" Thackston. He is survived by: his children, Hadley Thackston (Carlos Parsons) and Armistead Thackston; and his sister Sandra Thackston Roton.
