Lloyd Douglas Stevens was born February 11, 1942 in Cheyenne, Oklahoma to Johnnie James Stevens and Velma (Morgan) Stevens Reece. Doug had five sisters and later had two younger brothers. Doug spent a lot of his youth on horseback. He left home at an early age and made his own way in the world. He met and married Janet Sifford of Hammon. They moved around to several towns including Hereford, TX, Cheyenne, Hammon, then settling in Elk City. To this union were born Doug Jr., David and Danny. Doug was good at whatever he did; he built homes in Elk City, but spent the majority of his life as an auto mechanic at his own business Stevens Auto Repair; later in his life he sold vehicles. Anyone who knew Doug knew he never met a stranger. He could strike up a conversation with anyone. Doug's favorite snacks were snickers bars and Dr. Pepper. His hobbies included, racing cars, watching westerns, and sharing his love for the Lord, but his greatest joy, without a doubt was his grandchildren. He loved them very much and loved spending time with them. He attended as many of their activities as he could and never missed paying them all a weekly allowance every Friday.
