Stephen Antonia Huntley

Alexander City, Alabama - A precious one from us is gone, a voice we love is still, and a place is vacant in our home that can never be filled.  On February 6, 1984, at Sylacauga Hospital Rebecca and the late Steven Jackson Smith proudly became the parents to Stephen Antonia Huntley. 

Stephen received his education at Fayetteville High School, his dedication and involvement prepared him well to attempt new challenges with forethought.  His desire to thrive with excellence was his foremost object in school. He graduated with the class of 2002 at Fayetteville High School.

At an early age, Stephen received Christ as his Lord and Savior.  Stephen didn't only exist in life, but he lived life to the fullest.  Stephen was a proud father.  He understood what mattered in life and valued nothing more than fatherhood.
