The Savannah State University Confucius Institute issued the following announcement on Aug. 15.
From Savannah State University President Kimberly Ballard-Washington:
“The Savannah State University family is saddened by the passing of Georgia House Representative and Savannah State University alumnus Mickey Stephens (’71). Although Representative Stephens had been ill recently, he remained a strong advocate, ensuring the university’s needs were addressed by the general assembly. He was a friend and mentor, ably guiding me through the legislative process.
We have lost a great man who worked tirelessly for his constituents and his community. Serving faithfully for over a decade, Representative Stephens embodied Savannah State University’s motto, "Lux et Veritas" (Light and Truth). His passing leaves a void in our hearts and of all who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family.”
