Stephen Overton

Stephen Lorenzo Overton, age 66 of Marion County passed away on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

Stephen was born December 11, 1958, to Lorenzo Overton and Marie Nichols Mrock. He had a deep love for the outdoors and could often be found with a fishing pole in hand or out in the woods enjoying a quiet morning hunt.

Whether casting a line on his favorite creek or tracking through the woods, he found peace in nature’s beauty. His love for fishing and hunting was more than a pastime; it was a way of life he proudly shared with those he loved.

A graveside service along with the burial will be held Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at Overton Farm Cemetery in Hodges, Alabama beginning at 1:00 P.M.
