Gretna - Jack A. Stevens, age 84, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family and a lifetime of cherished memories.

Jack is survived by his devoted wife, Roxanne Stevens; his daughters, Pam (Mike) Goodman, Christina (Steve) Smith, and Gia Stevens. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Jennifer, Michael, Jack, Brent, Lauren, Zachary, Leo, Brent Jr., Caliyah, and Chasslyn. In addition, Jack was a proud and loving honorary Grandpa to Alex and Sabrina.

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jack answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Air Force. During his military service, he met the love of his life, Roxanne, while stationed in Rome, Italy. Their marriage began a remarkable journey that spanned decades, continents, and countless adventures together. The family was stationed throughout the United States and abroad, including Stuttgart, Germany, creating memories and experiences that would become treasured stories for generations.

Following a distinguished military career, Jack retired from the Air Force in Bellevue, Nebraska. He continued his professional career with Sterling Software before eventually enjoying his well-earned retirement. Throughout the years, he remained the steady center of a growing family, always making time for those he loved most.

Jack found his greatest joy in spending time with family. He loved lake life, fishing, and creating memories with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A passionate sports fan, he faithfully supported his hometown Detroit teams, including the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings, while also embracing all things Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Jack will be remembered for his dedication to family, his service to his country, his adventurous spirit, and the love and laughter he shared with all who knew him. His legacy lives on through his family and the many lives he touched.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
