Bert Allen Stephens, 65

Bert Allen Stephens, 65, peacefully passed away Monday, Nov. 25, 2024, at Baptist Health in Lexington.
Born Oct. 28, 1959, in Mt. Sterling, he was the son of the late Louis and Nellie Collins Stephens.  Having spent his career as a meticulous and well-respected employee, he had retired from IBM/Lexmark, where he left a lasting impact.  However, his passion for golf truly defined him, and he was renowned for his talent on the course, embodying the spirit of the game.  A loyal University of Kentucky Wildcats supporter, his enthusiasm for sports was contagious.  Those who knew him will always remember his remarkable sense of humor.
Survivors include his loving spouse, Paula Stephens; children, Nick Stephens (Heather) and Lacy Stephens; and sister, Judy Townsend (Danny Ray).  His legacy lives on through his family, who will cherish the memories of his kind spirit and unwavering dedication.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by a brother, Bobby Stephens.
Service was conducted Monday, Dec. 2, at the First Church of God with Pastor David Dooley officiating.
