Homer Stevens Jr., age 64, of Hope, Michigan, passed away on Saturday, January 27, 2018, at his home. Homer was born the son of the late Homer and Alice Jean (McKenzie) Stevens on January 15, 1954, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He was united in marriage to Marguerite "Peggy" McKay on May 12, 1989. Homer was a member of Local 190 Plumbers and Pipefitters and was employed as a pipefitter doing gas distribution work for over 30 years. After his retirement in 2010, he became heavily involved in his hobby of coin operated machine restoration.
