John Dee Stem, age 87, passed away on February 13, 2022.
He was a farmer half his life, still he would help friends when he was needed. After farming full-time he went to public work at Tennessee Farmer’s Co-Op where he eventually retired. He really was a good mechanic and enjoyed working on tractors and small engines. Some people said he had forgotten more things about being a mechanic than a lot of people even knew. He loved his family and will be greatly missed.
John was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Elizabeth Stem; parents, Hugh Rah Stem and Mary Robinson Stem; and brothers, Willie Hugh and Ernest Stem.
He is survived by his son, John Marvin Stem, and former daughter-in-law Rita Stem; grandchildren, Ashley Regg, Brooke Stem, and Carson Stem; and great-grandchildren, Aiden Crowe, Brayden Stem, Jeraziah Butler, Harley, and Wyatt Regg.
