Talented Baritone singer, Gary Stephens, passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack Saturday morning, September 16, 2006. Gary, born on October 3, 1945, leaves a loving wife, Gayle Spann Stephens, two sons, Eric (Donna) Stephens, and Mylon Stephens, and a daughter Dawn (Joey) Montgomery along with eight grandchildren. He also leaves a brother George Stephens and a sister Peggy Stephens Atnip.

Gary began his singing career with the Frost Brothers as a young man seventeen years old singing Bass. He sang with several other groups including the Regents and the Marksmen, before landing the Baritone spot with Jerry and the Singing Goffs. Gary ended his career as he started it, singing Bass, but with his own family group, the Gary Stephens Quartet.

Reader Comments

Gary Stephens will be greatly missed as is his dad Bud. It was a pleasre and honor to say I knew Gary and Gayle. What a bundle of talent. I know he is in heaven enjoying great gospel music. Gary can not be replaced. He has a family who will miss him greatly and what a joy he was to many people.
We will continue the Stephens family in our prayers. We love this family.
