In Loving Memory

Jonathan Peter Stevens

Born April 13, 1965 - Moses Lake, Washington

Died April 7, 2024 - Sandy, Utah

Interred at Salt Lake City Cemetery

Jon was born the youngest of seven siblings. In the testimony he shared as often as he could, he always said "I have five sisters, and one brother. I love my family." He enjoyed telling others of his father, who passed away when Jon was young, and he was a lifelong companion for his loving mother, who passed in 2015. Jon adored his parents. His family connections and relationships were his most precious treasures. His favorite hymn was "Families Can Be Together Forever." We will miss him, but we are happy for him to be reunited with his parents, Marilyn Rae Hite and James David Stevens, his sister MaryLou Fleming, his brother-in-law Jeff Manley, and other beloved family members including nieces and nephews who preceded him in death.

Jon was a devoted brother and uncle. He was a playful tease, particularly to his sister Susan. He eagerly held each new baby in the family, and appreciated when prospective newcomers sought his permission to marry his nieces and nephews. He always said yes.

Jon graduated from Dan Peterson High School, he earned his Eagle Scout and he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He held the Melchizedek Priesthood and was proud to contribute in every opportunity to bless babies, administer the sacrament and serve his friends and neighbors. In the Sharon 8th Ward he served as music director in the Elders Quorum for many years.

Jon participated in the Special Olympics several times and earned awards in swimming, diving, and other sports. He loved bowling each week with his activities group from RAH (Recreation and Habilitation). He had many beloved friends at RAH and looked forward to the dinners, dances, and talent shows where he could share his Elvis impression.

Jon worked at Central Utah Enterprises in Provo, Utah for more than three decades. He continued to learn new skills and perform to the best of his abilities for as long as he could. He was very dedicated to his work and devoted to his friends and coworkers there. CUE was a supportive and welcoming place for Jon.

Our family is immensely grateful to all of the neighbors, ward members, friends, coworkers and staff who have watched over Jon throughout his life. He has been blessed to be among so many good people.

A public viewing will be held Wednesday, April 10th, 2024 at the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home at 646 E 800 N, Orem, UT 84097 from 6:00-8:00pm.
