Leonard Joseph Stevens of Rothesay, husband of Debra E. (Frost) Stevens, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at his residence. Born at Saint John on June 12, 1956, he was a son of Leonard and Marie (LeBreton) Stevens. Len was a pipe fitter by trade, and a member of Local 213. He was a graduate of St. Malachy's Memorial High School, and the New Brunswick Community College. He liked walking, going to the gym, and listening to Country and Golden Oldies music, but his family was by far the most important part of his life; his granddaughter Alexis was indeed the apple of his eye. In addition to his wife and to his parents, Len is survived by his daughters, Amanda and Jennifer, both of Rothesay; his granddaughter, Alexis; his parents-in-law, Louis and Josephine Frost of St. George; a sister, Patricia Dempster (Dale) of Saint John; sisters-in-law Carolyn Jackson (Bruce) of St. George and Laura Dunnett (Holden) of Miramichi; nieces and nephews Melina and Brandon Bailey, Brittany Dempster, and Melissa and Jason Dunnett; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Len was predeceased by a brother, Robert Stevens.
