Steven Louis Wood Jr.

Steven Louis Wood Jr. passed away on November 21, 2025, at his home in St. George, Utah. He was surrounded by his wife and four children, spending his final moments sharing laughs and memories in the comfort of those he loved most.

Steve was born on January 10, 1948. He grew up in Farmington and later raised his family there. He spent his youth in the beautiful mountains of Davis County. An avid outdoorsman, fisherman, and hunter, he passed his love of the outdoors on to his children and grandchildren. He graduated from Davis High School in 1966. Steve faithfully served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the British Mission. He later met and married his wife, Debra (Debbie) Hafen, in 1973, with whom he shared 52 years of marriage. His life with Debbie was filled with adventure and travel, from humble fishing and camping trips in the early years of their marriage to journeys along the Gulf Coast and throughout Mexico and Central America, or crossing the landscapes of the West in their UTV’s. The most cherished memories were made around a campfire in the Wasatch Mountains or on the water at Lake Powell. No matter the destination, his preferred company was always his family.

Steve was a generous and humble man, never hesitating to come to the aid of others. He possessed a sharp and lovable sense of humor, a warm smile, and an endless supply of endearing and playful teasing—reserved exclusively for those closest to him. He preferred private moments with loved ones and shied away from attention. A man of few words, he expressed his love through his actions and thoughtful gestures.

Steve was a devoted father, ensuring his children never went without, while at the same time instilling in them respect, self-reliance, and a lasting appreciation for hard work. His children carry countless memories of hunting adventures, skeet shooting, speeding across Lake Powell in his bass boat, and sharing quiet, wordless conversations over fresh garden tomatoes in the backyard.

Steve is survived by his wife, Debbie, and his children: Corrie (Brad), Jeffrey (Gabriela), Spencer (Amber), and Brad (Heather), along with 11 grandchildren, and his brothers David (Judy) and Douglas (Teresa). He was preceded in death by his parents, Steven Louis Wood Sr. and Dorothy Wood, and his brother, Jerry Wood.

Services will take place on Monday, December 1 at the Farmington Rock Chapel, 272 North Main Street, Farmington. The viewing will take place from 10:00-11:30 am followed by the funeral service at 12:00 pm.
