Leon Cates Stephens Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on May 5, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Leon Cates Stephens (Magnolia, Texas), born in Hazel Park, Michigan. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Leon may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.
He is survived by: his wife Sharon Stephens; his children, Noel Patton, Leon Cates Stephens Jr., Denise Schoth, Bette Chernenko and Tracy Minor; his grandchildren, Leon Cates Stephens III (Trey), Nathan Stephens and Lacey Stephens; and his great grandchild Jameson Stephens.
He was also a member of the Jaycees, helping to organize community projects, fundraisers, and social events, such as charity drives and professional mixers.
