Stephen Harmon Obituary

Stephen Holsten Harmon Jr., age 84, of Fernandina Beach, Fla., went to be with his Lord and Savior on Jan. 4, 2025. Throughout his fight with cancer and in his final days, he was still full of joy, peace and confidence in his King, Jesus. 
Stephen was born in Natchitoches, La., in 1940, the oldest son of the late Stephen Holsten Harmon Sr. and Marcile Prudhomme Harmon. He was a 1958 graduate of Catholic High School in Baton Rouge and graduated from LSU in 1962. He served in the U.S. Army and Reserves for more than 30 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He spent his civilian career raising support for LSU, Bryan College and several Christian ministries.
Everywhere he went, laughter and generosity abounded. Some of his favorite activities were traveling, going to the beach, playing pranks and telling jokes, writing his daily devotional, "Today's Good News," and being goofy with his grandkids. More than anything, Stephen was known for his unwavering faith and was a bright light in any room. If you knew him, your life was richer for it.
Stephen is survived by his beloved wife, Annette; daughters, Jill Harmon, Pamela Augusta and Julia Kurschner; son, Joshua Harmon; stepdaughters, Joanna Naylor and Andrea Scampini; foster daughter, Delta Lane; grandchildren, Stephen IV, Lauren, Alex, Kate, Alexa, Jack, Liam, David, Noah, and Aidan; and great-grandchildren, Landry and Emma.?Stephen will be laid to rest near his son, Stephen Harmon III, at the National Military Cemetery in Cartersville, Ga.
