PEP Remembers Greg Stevens

We, at the Peace Economy Project, give our deepest sympathy to the family and all of the friends of Greg Stevens. Greg was found dead in his home, in the City, on March 2. The cause of death is being ruled a homicide and there have been no arrests at this time.

Greg, a resident of the city of St. Louis, regularly supported PEP throughout the years. In addition to the contributions he made to our organization, he supported other peace and justice organizations across the St. Louis area.

Greg owned the Wine Press and Peace Institute Printing, on Olive, in the Central West End. He was a passionate participant in the work for peace and social justice. He was a man who “walked his talk” and he will be greatly missed.
