Stephen Atwood Karnes' Obituary
Stephen Atwood Karnes, was born on September 3, 1957 to Paul and Eva Karnes. He grew up in a loving home with two older twin brothers.
Dad is preceded in death by his mother, Eva and leaves behind 2 brothers, Jeff and Billy (Susan), father, Paul, long time love, Elizabeth, 6 children, Stephanie (Adam), Ryan, Ashlie, Ryan, Lindsay (Tucker), and Hunter (Angel). He was an amazing pawpaw to 9 grandbabies.
Those that knew him know he was such a special being. He went by many names- son, brother, dad, friend, firefighter, gardener, Cintas employee of 30 years and confidant. Although we are heart broken, our family takes comfort that he is in heaven with his mom. Fly high dad.
