Richard "Deke" Stevens, 87, went to be with the Lord on November 26, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

He was born February 25, 1934 in Kennebunk, son of Norman and Elizabeth (Clough) Stevens, a 1953 graduate of Kennebunk High School. Richard was a member of the Kennebunk Baptist Church since the age of 19 and most recently a member of the Bethel Christian Church in North Berwick, ME. He was a member of the York Lodge AF & AM #22 of Kennebunk.

Richard and his brother-in-law Sylvio LaPierre (Vio) started S&L painters in Kennebunk. They also bought, restored and sold many homes in the Kennebunk area until eventually buying the Captain's Landing in Kennebunkport in 1976. They renamed the restaurant to The Landing Restaurant which was in operation until 2010.

Richard and Kathy enjoyed many summers at their camp on Wilson Lake in Acton, ME and winters at their home in Port St Lucie, FL. He always looked forward to having his monthly get together with his classmates of 1953. Richard's family meant everything to him and he especially loved the companionship of his little dog Lizzie. He, first and foremost loved his Lord who in his words, "Never Failed Me".
