* And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be no more pain;
for the former things are passed away.*

Mr. Dorian Alexei Stevenson, affectionately known as
"Duff" (nick-named by his maternal grandmother,
Helena, who also shared his birthday), was born on
March 10, 1996, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. Duff loved his
role and served it well as the oldest brother to six
siblings. The final chapter of his life came all too soon to
an end on June 20, 2016.

Dorian received Christ at an early age. He was
baptized and welcomed into fellowship at the Assembly
of God Church in Prague, Oklahoma.

Dorian received his elementary through early high
school education from Prague Public Schools. Upon the
family moving to Moore, Oklahoma, Dorian graduated
with honors in 2015 from Moore High School. He always
excelled academically and was the epitome of a perfect
student. Dorian had the intellectual soul of a medical
doctor in the making.

Duff was a humble, loving, kind hearted and gentle
soul with an infectious smile. His smile could light up a
room. Wherever he went and whoever he met, he left
his mark on their hearts. He enjoyed collecting sport
cards, reading, drawing, basketball, and especially
football. His favorite football team was OU Sooners.
He adored his family, especially his Mother, Stepfather,
Sisters and Brothers.?
