From Sondra Boyd:

My brother, Jeffrey Lee Stevens was born on October 13, 1949.  Jeff thought of himself as an athlete and to the best of my knowledge, he worked-out every day of his life.  As always, on January 25, 2014 he exited the Gym he frequented for his extensive morning run.  When completed - he came back into that Gym, quietly experienced a heart attack and passed away.

Jeff aspired to play professional football but excelled at running and won numerous awards for achievements in that sport.  His work brought him to Atlanta where he had lived for many years.  While he loved being in-love, - he never married.
