Stevie D. is no longer with us on earth. Please join me and countless others in the community in honoring his memory by placing a red and black bow on your mailbox. A close friend has already adorned the Gebhardt mailbox. Funeral will be Monday, January 31st at 1:00 PM at Dunwoody Baptist Church with a reception following, also at the church.
I’ve known this young man and his family for years and adore them. I’ve been praying off and on for over 24 hours for them and will continue to do so. The family just asked me to share a note from Stevie D’s Aunt asking the entire community to pray for this young man from Dunwoody. He’s a Dunwoody High Graduate from the class of 2016.
Whether you know him or not, I ask that if you pray….please pray for him.
Forwarded Message from Stevie D’s Aunt, Mary Lee Hardy:
These two….I love them like my very own and you all know what my sister Cindy means to me. I know that most of you know about sweet Stevie D and what is going on with him. He is on life support and currently they are using cooling therapy to help his body heal. The next 24 hours will be important. As I find out more news I will let you all know. We all feel your prayers and the very real presence of God, He is holding us all. Know that we could not do this without each of you standing in the gap for us.
Please say an extra prayer for sweet Kat, she loves her brother so much.
“But this I call to mind, and there fore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end: they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”
Lamentations 3:21-23
I love you all more than you will ever know and could not walk this road without your love and support.
Thank you
Mary Lee

So sorry for your loss. Only Met Steve a few times and there was certainly a light always surrounding him. Such a great guy and feel lucky to have known him for such a brief time. RIP Steve, I hope you are finally breaking 70s up in heaven.
I went to middle school with Steven and he was so nice. Ran into him in college as well and he was so kind and full of positive energy! So very sorry for the family. Prayers

Stevie D. could light up any room he was in. If you ever met him, you experienced this. He was always smiling and could make anyone laugh. He was one of the most pure humans I have ever met and his family is a gift to this earth. It is important that we give them love and care during this tough time. He will be with us forever. Prayers and condolences. Rest in paradise Gebby

As a member of Pinetree, Steve will be missed. He was usually there when I finished my round and always had a smile and asked about my golf game. And we had lots of discussion about the Dawgs this year. He will be missed.
Praying for the Gebhardt family and all who loved him. I worked with Steve for almost a year at Pinetree and he was always the one to make everyone’s day better. He will be dearly missed.
I am comforted by warm memories of Stevie D from the years at Vanderlyn! His ever-present smile lit up the room … his positive spirit will forever be with all of us who were blessed to know him!! Continued prayers for his family & friends for strength and peace. ❤️
I knew Steve from many facets of life. I went to middle school with him, he went to high school with some friends of mine from where I live, and I ran into him frequently when I went to KSU. He was always smiling and everyone I knew loved him. He always had something funny to say; he made everyone laugh. He’s such a light. I know he is in a great place right now and forever.
Prayers to the entire Gebhardt family. May God heal and strengthen you and welcome Steve into his Kingdom with open arms and Love.
