Steve Adams

My husband, Steve, was born in Salt Lake City in 1931 where he worked most of his life. His mechanical skills brought him to the auto industry where he was employed at a number of local dealerships. He was well respected for his honesty and integrity, great wit and logical mind. Steve’s skill of rebuilding engines earned him the respect of local businesses as well as friends seeking advice, and in particular, his grandson’s gratitude in rebuilding his 1965 Mustang. Steve also owned his own repair shop. In later years he became a certified locksmith, an interest he had all his life. Steve enjoyed hunting and fishing, passing the interest of joy in nature onto his family. Steve and I loved to travel. We made a point of taking our family on annual vacations that brought treasured memories. We also travelled internationally, often visiting my native country Sweden. European family and friends always enjoyed visiting us in the U.S. One of Steve’s greatest accomplishments was the summer cabin he built by himself at Bear Lake. We cherish memories of boating and sailing on the lake, while dancing and singing at birthday and crayfish parties were enjoyed on our cabin’s sundeck. A full moon rising over the mountains, reflecting on the lake, was always a most magical experience. Steve and I retired and moved to St George in 2002 spending winters here while summers were always enjoyed in our cherished cabin. Michael inherited his dad’s integrity and talent for mechanics. He has provided loving support to us over the years. The bond between Steve and his loving daughter Susan is immeasurable, that of eternal love between father and daughter. It is a reflection of each other’s devotion and compassion. Our beautiful Bichon, Howard, Steve’s best friend and constant companion, stayed with his Master until the very end. Through the years I realized what a truly remarkable individual my husband was. His honesty, patience, inquisitive and quick mind made him a fun and interesting person to be around. No wonder we loved him so. A celebration of Steve’s life will be given with friends and family at Bear Lake in the Spring of 2018. According to his wishes, his ashes will be spread over our beloved place, bonding him with nature and a divine Universe. We love and miss you. Thank you for sharing your life with us – Britt, Michael (Sandi) and Susan (Evan).
