Steven C Weaver

1949 — 2024

Steven C. Weaver, 74, graduated from this life on September 14, 2024. He was our strength and stay…our hero. We will miss him every minute of every day.

Steve was born in Ogden, Utah on December 27, 1949. His parents, John Green Weaver and Marcell Cowley Weaver always teased him that he was a great tax deduction that year! When Steve was three, his family moved to Redwood City, California where he was blessed to grow up in a joyful, loving home. Steve was always a hard worker. As a boy, he had a paper route and enjoyed riding through the neighborhood perfecting his left-handed throw. He would smile when he told us about the rewards that came at either end of the paper route- the freshly baked donuts and the candy store. In 1964 Steve saved his paper route money to attend the National Boy Scout Jamboree at Valley Forge.

When Steve was a sophomore in high school, his family moved into a new home in Roy, Utah. While attending Roy High, he met Joan (Joni) Batchelor, who became his forever love. After graduation Steve served in the Australia West Mission. Upon returning he enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard. Steve and Joni were married in the Manti Temple on December 2, 1971. He graduated from Weber State University in 1975 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in accounting.

Steve’s first job was in Yakima, Washington, and as he advanced in his career, Steve and Joni moved to Redmond, Washington, where they were blessed with a son, Jason and a daughter Kristen. His career took the family to Sacramento, California, and Hudson and Loveland, Ohio, where Steve worked as an assistant to the IRS Regional Commissioner. In 1994, Steve accepted a position as the IRS Chief Employment Officer in Ogden. They built a home in Pleasant View where he enjoyed many hours perfecting their beautiful yard.

Steve loved and served his family. Fond and happy memories were created at the family cabin in Island Park, Idaho. Steve spent joyful hours teaching grandkids to float the river, fish, and roast the perfect marshmallow. Island Park was Steve’s favorite place, and he knew exactly where to take the grandkids for a fun RZR ride.

At home in Pleasant View, many mornings found him at Kristen’s home cooking breakfast for his grandkids before driving “Grandpa’s Bus” to school or chauffeuring them from school or to and from their many other activities. Steve was the rock, the voice of reason, the place where our family could always get love, comfort, and level-headed advice.

Steve loved and always faithfully served our Savior, Jesus Christ. He served as executive secretary to the Seattle Mission Presidency, scoutmaster, High Councilman, Bishop, and in many other callings. He served a two-year Ogden Transit Mission and he and Joni were blessed to serve as Ordinance Workers in the Ogden Temple.

Steve is survived by his beloved wife Joni, son Jason (Anne) Weaver, daughter Kristen (Jed) Haacke and his much-loved grandchildren Celeste, Bannon and Daria Weaver; Collin, Addy, Tanner and Emmy Haacke; and by his sisters Carolyn (Dennis) Shirley, Jeanne (Steve) Anderson, and Janis (Richard) Wardleigh.

We would like to thank our wonderful, caring team of doctors: Dr. Masood Safaee, Dr. David Gill, and Dr. Travis McKenzie for their skilled and compassionate care.

Funeral services will be held at 11a.m. on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at the Pleasant View Ward, 3602 No 500 West with a viewing prior from 9 – 10:30 a.m.

Arrangements entrusted to Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., Ogden, UT.
