Greysen “Grey” Troy Stephens, 17, of Talladega, AL was born August 14, 2008, and he passed away peacefully on Monday, September 01, 2025. A celebration of life ceremony in his honor will be announced at a later date.

Greysen spent his early childhood attending Alabama School for the Blind, but at the age of thirteen, he began homeschooling through Essential Church School. He would have been a senior this year had he not been involved in a horrible automobile accident in May. The accident left Grey with a severe brain injury which caused him to be completely dependent on his loving parents. His dad, Steven, was his very best friend, and they did everything together. Grey loved being outdoors. His hobbies included fishing, kayaking, riding dirt bikes, and working on anything that had a motor. He was a very smart and caring young man who was deeply loved and will be truly missed.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Billy Phipps and Billy Joe Wideman.

Greysen is survived by his parents, Amanda and Steven Waites; father, Hunter Stephens; siblings, Houston, Kristal, Jaxson, Becca, Crimson, Eli, Alli, Julie Mae, Mattie, Mason, and Shiloh, and a host of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
