MR. ONELIO ‘POPS’ PAZOS
Mr. Onelio “Pops” Pazos, 77, passed away in Key West, Florida, on September 27, 2021. He was born there on October 10, 1943 and was raised as a “True Conch.”
As a young man he served in the U. S. Army. After unknowingly meeting her a few years earlier, he married the love of his life, Kathy, in 1976. They were together for 48 years.
Onelio and Kathy operated sev- eral businesses throughout the years including Night Moves, and most notably, Bob’s Meat Market. He enjoyed the customers who shopped there, especially the ones who became friends. He also worked as a project manager for Richard Foglesong on jobs that took him around the country.
Both he and his big brother Ofie (who gave him the nickname “Baby Brother”) never met a stranger. They left everyone they saw with a smile! He was well known for his five-minute (or longer!) voice mails, his corny jokes, and his infectious laugh!
Onelio had a big heart and loved all animals, especially the neighborhood dogs, who loved him, too! He was generous to a fault and would help anybody that asked in any way he could. He had many, many friends throughout his life, but his family was most im- portant to him.
He was preceded in death by: his two sons, Neyo and David; his brothers, Ofie and Tony. He also has his two little poodles, Niki and Tiki waiting for him at the “Rain- bow Bridge.”
He is survived by: his wife, Kathy; his sisters-in-law, Melissa Chudy, Anita Nunez, and Rose Pazos; his nieces and nephews, Chelsea (Travis) Myers, Robert (Antonio) Chudy; Samantha (Ed) Locker, T. J. Nunez and Mark (Mary) Pazos, Lee (Joan) Pazo; and many great and great-great- nieces and nephews.
A viewing will be held on Sat- urday, October 9, from 12-2 p. m., with the service beginning at 2 p. m. at Boza & Roel Funeral Home, 4730 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa 33603.

James, affectionately known as ‘Babylee’ was born August 7, 1943. James was the older of the 1st set of twins born to his mother, the late Beatrice Stevens Lasing, and his father, the late James L. Stevens, Sr. He attended the public schools of Hillsbor- ough County. He played football on the varsity team at Blake High School, and went on to play semi- professional football in St. Pe- tersburg, FL.
As a young man, he loaded up his 1968, white with black ragtop and red interior, Oldsmobile 98 and a few friends and headed to California to pursue his dreams.
After living several years in California, he moved to Chicago, where he met his wife, Patricia af- fectionately known as “Cookie.” After a few years stay in Chicago he relocated to Hollywood, FL.
James’ love for cars set the stage for him to own and operate Steve’s Auto Service Center. He serviced, repaired, and refur- bished Jaguars, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Yachts, and all foreign
and exotic cars.
James loved his wife, his chil-
dren, and his family and when the opportunity presented itself, he would come home to Tampa. He made sure he visited each one of his brothers and sisters’ home and he enjoyed family gatherings where we would talk for hours. He was loved by all who knew him, and we will greatly miss his hard working, outgoing, bubbly personality, and his infectious smile.
James was preceded in death by: his father, James Leavertis Stevens, Sr.; parents, Beatrice Stevens Lasing and Edmund Las- ing; sister, Barbara Stevens Jolly; sisters-in-law, Maureen K. Las- ing, and Albertine Miller.
