Steven Ray Beavers, 55

Steven Ray Beavers was born in Rockdale, Texas, on March 8, 1962, to Barbara and John Beavers.

He graduated Cross Roads High School in 1980 in the top 10 of his class. He would proudly boast of that honor.

Steven found solace in Montana around 1992 while driving an 18-wheeler. He moved there shortly after choosing the wild and free lifestyle that embellished his spirit. He remained in Montana until 2013 when he was diagnosed with progressive supra nuclear palsy.

He returned to Texas after the diagnosis to live out his final years under the care of his sister Stacey Renea Wisk and his mother Barbara Beavers. Steven succumbed to his illness on Oct. 23, 2017.

A memorial will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28, at Huckabee-Tomlinson Funeral Home in Malakoff, Texas.
