Grady Stevens went to be with the Lord on September 1st, 2021 at St Francis hospital in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina.  He was born on December 28th, 1941 in Gastonia, North Carolina to the late John Henry and Mamie Johnson Stevens. Grady earned multiple degrees in fields related to electrical engineering from NC State (undergraduate), Case Institute of Technology (Masters,) and the Toledo University (Masters and Doctorate work). He worked for NASA for 30 years but his real passion was preaching the Word.
