Don Stephens, 74, the man many say set the stage for commercial development along the Ga. 400 corridor in Dawson County, died Friday morning following several years of declining health. Friends and family gathered Monday morning beneath the arbor at Lumpkin Campground to mourn the loss. A native and lifelong Dawson resident, Stephens co-founded Byrd-Stephens Building Supply and is credited with paving the way for the county’s first franchise grocery store.
