A Little Stop Down Moment
Stephen Wren is an attorney here in Decatur. I guess he can best be described as a good guy, straight arrow, or any other similar term. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a heck of a sense of humor or wry wit. I've known him for years and even tried an incredibly emotional case with him about four years ago.
That being said, I heard that he was having a bout with cancer a couple of months back. Shortly thereafter he began showing up in court with less hair certainly due to that battle. Other than that difference, you would never know he was having a struggle. His spirits were high. His attitude good. His mind on his work.
One thing I don't do is pry. I'm never going to ask an intrusive question because I'm a big fan of the concept of being left alone. But tonight, in his effort to alert others to the dangers of male breast cancer (yes, male breast cancer), he appeared on Fox 4 News. It's a message for all those who would have never have asked "what happened?"

Stephen is my friend and my attorney, and I commend him for his efforts. He is a giving and determined man whom I have respected since I was a child, growing up with his sons. I wish him and his family all the best.
Stephen is one of the kindest, most honorable gentlemen I have ever met. He coached our oldest son in baseball, and I never saw him lose his temper, or lose patience, with any of the teenage boys who crossed his path. Every man who crosses his path should attempt to emulate his character.
I have had cases with Stephen and while we have agreed to disagree and argued our positions he is always been honorable and a wonderful advocate for his clients.
I met Stephen a couple of times when I lived in the WC. Struck me as a helluva guy. Inspirational story.
Godspeed, Mr. Wren!
Great man
Wow! I had no clue that Mr. Wren was going through this! Thanks, Mr. Wren, for your incredible, uplifting spirit!
Keep it up!
I must say that seldom have I encountered a man of higher character than Stephen.
Many God watch over him and protect him and his family.
God bless you, Stephen!
He has been my attorney since I moved to Wise County. Wonderful person and a great attorney.
God speed my friend.
Stephen has lived his life in a way that is an inspiration to anyone lucky enough to know him.
He has an outstanding family too.
We can all only "attempt" to emulate Steven Wren. He's as kind as they come, great heart, great attitude, friendly and thoughtful.
I wish him nothing but the absolute best because that's what a guy like him deserves. And Steven, the no hair thing, I can only hope to look that good when I lose mine, you look great! Our prayers are with you and your family and God Bless you for being the shining example you are.
Good guy. White hat. Deep faith.
A man of true integrity is Stephen Wren - from a wonderful family.
And a man of great faith.
You look great!
This made me cry with such words of inspirataion and the humbleness of the man. What a guy!
He is a very good man. We're very lucky to have him in our town.
Thank you Barry for adding this to the blog. Mr. Wren is a wonderful person and cancer of any kind is horrific. God has blessed many with Mr. Wren and you have blessed many by advancing this segment. I thank you! An uplift was needed!
Sincere blessings to all.
Class act. Period.
Long time family friend! So sorry Stephen has had to battle with cancer, but as always, he battles with integrity and faith. His going public is just one more example of how he cares about his fellow man. Best of luck to you, Stephen. I know God watches over you! (btw: you look like Jason with you head shaved!)
Never met him personally, but have heard nice comments for many years. I salute him, and his faith!
to all the comments above: Yep.
double fake hank hill
Only a person of extremely high caliber could be the subject of 20 comments on this blog & all of them are positive.
I can't remember that ever happening.
Figuratively speaking, our hats are off to you, Stephen.
Whoa...what a guy!!! What courage!!!
I wish you all the best Stephen.
You are a super person from all I've ever known of you.
Thanks for sharing this awesome story! Apparently Mr. Wren is a great guy & it's wonderful to see such positive comments about him. I hope his testimony sends a message to other men about male breat cancer! Once again thanks for posting this story.
Good work Mr. Wren.
Thank you for proving, people of incredible character are capable of incredible feats.
Continued blessing to you and your lovely family.
Stephen, thank you for all you do. My family owes you a lot.
October is breast cancer awareness month and most of us only think about women. Thanks to Stephen Wren, we are aware of male breast cancer.
The Wren family is a family well respected in the county. Our prayers are with Stephen and his family.
May God bless him for caring for others.

And that is why people love Stephen Wren. He always does the right thing, says the right things and lives his life bettering the lives of those around him. He is a wonderful man. One of the true gems of Wise County.
God bless Stephen and his wonderful family.
A Great Wonderful person!! I respect this Man on so many Levels. We are very fortunate to have Mr Wren amongst us here in Wise County.
Was he ever in the Marine Corps? I grew up in the Marine Corps. Recently it was announced that the drinking water at Camp Lejeune was toxic from 1957 thru 1987. Many of the Marines ended up with breast cancer. Go to: http://www.tftptf.com/
