Charles Albert Stevenson (“Steve”), age 98, passed away peacefully at home on July 14, 2020 in Sugar Land, Texas surrounded by his family. He was born on August 11, 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama to Albert Ward Stevenson and Elizabeth (Compton) Stevenson who predeceased him. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Ruby J. (Debusk) Stevenson and his three sisters, Aline Vaughn, Mildred Walton and Jackie Sanders.
Steve attended Texas A&M University and left college during his Sophomore year to enlist in the U.S. Army to proudly serve his country during World War II. During this time, he met and fell in love with Ruby J. Debusk and were soon married. They moved to San Angelo, Texas where their son was born and shortly thereafter moved to Big Springs, Texas where he began his long career with DeCoty Coffee Company. After almost 10 years in Big Springs, they relocated to Austin, Texas where they remained for many years. Steve retired from DeCoty Coffee Company as Regional Sales Manager after a very long career.
