Tyler Stephenson

Andrew Tyler Stephenson, age 37, passed away on February 6, 2026. He was born on January 10, 1989, in Thomasville, Georgia.

Tyler is survived by his loving parents, Randy and Linda Stephenson; his three sisters, Hollie Herndon (Joe) of Valdosta, Lorrie Williams (Jeremy) of Boston, and Ivie Carlton (Judd) of Cairo; two nieces, Emily Bailey and Ellie Carlton; and one nephew, Emmett Williams, and his Pecan-tan retriever Chibbs.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Eugene and Beth Stephenson, and his maternal grandparents, Lewis and Emma Collins.

Tyler graduated from Thomas County Central High School in 2007, where he was an active member of the FFA, shotgun team, and forestry team. He later served for many years as a leader of the Royal Ambassadors (RAs) at Salem Baptist Church, where his faith and commitment to others were evident to all who knew him.

Tyler loved the outdoors and cherished time spent with his dogs. He was truly one of a kind—sociable, kindhearted, and someone who never met a stranger. His loving, tender spirit and welcoming nature left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Allen and Allen Funeral Home. Services will be held at Salem Baptist Church in Pavo on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with visitation beginning at 2:00 p.m.
