It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform the membership of the passing of our retired brother and colleague, Rene Stephens, who passed away on November 8th, 2026.
Rene began his career with us here at American Airlines in 1989. He served with dedication for 28 years as an Aviation Maintenance Technician until his retirement in 2017. Over his nearly three decades of service, Rene was a skilled technician, a respected union brother, and an essential part of our team.
Please keep the Stephens family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
In Solidarity,
Local 514 Leadership
