Steven Karol Hamblin was born December 26, 1961 in Springerville, AZ to Douglas Dale and Colleen Gibbons Hamblin. He grew up in Eagar, AZ as the fifth of seven children. In school, Steve was involved in theater, speech, debate, choir, and track, and was on several school committees.

He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Seattle, WA and then attended Ricks College where he met his wife, Shirley when they were both part of the Ricks College Folk Dance Ensemble. They toured Europe twice with that group and Steve’s favorite part was the friends he made from countries around the world. Later, he danced with the BYU Folk Dancers before graduating with his Bachelor’s degree in dance and getting his massage therapy license. He loved working at BYU Food To Go and getting to know his regular customers and the students he worked with.

Steve passed away April 30, 2026. He is survived by his wife and their children, Jarret (Kimber) and Paige, and his siblings Brock Hamblin, Shanna (Rod) Denault, Dawn Hamblin, Eddie Hamblin and Robin (Billy) Coleman. His parents and older brother Cowen, as well as his brother-in-law Rod, preceded him in death.

His family would like to thank the nurses and doctors at Utah Valley Hospital for their compassion and care, and the staff at Walker Sanderson for their kindness.
