Obit Steven D. Bevan 2On Feb. 22, 2015, our beloved brother, husband, father, grandpa, uncle and friend returned to his heavenly family at the young age of 66; his failing health earned him peace and freedom from his pain. Steve was born on Oct. 15, 1948 to loving parents Marion and Marjorie Bevan in Tooele, Utah. He graduated from Tooele High School in 1966. Steve was born with a strong and courageous spirit. Making friends and meeting people was one of his assets and joys. He served his country from 1967-73. During his active duty, he served in Company L, 75th Ranger Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. He was recognized for his bravery and valor with numerous awards and citations. Steve did not share a lot about his experiences but after talking with his friends, he gave his Vietnam experiences a lot of thought. “I came to the conclusion that because of the heroic men that I served with, I decided the medals I received became a symbol to me that I had been one of them.” Steve was asked on several occasions to speak at the Veterans Day Memorials which he did with pleasure, pride and honor. Steve had a strong drive to serve his community and the people of Tooele County. He served as a Tooele City Councilman for eight years, 1999-2007. He accomplished a lot during his tenure but a few of his prides and joys were his dream of adding another nine holes to Tooele Oquirrh Hills GC and he was very instrumental in the planning and development of the Tooele Veteran’s Memorial Park. Prior to his passing, he was in the process of helping in the development of a Veteran’s Memorial in Stockton. Steve’s patriotism was not limited to Tooele. It had no boundaries. Steve worked for the Federal Aviation Administration for over 30 years. Because of his invaluable experience and knowledge, he was afforded the luxury of being able to transfer to wherever he desired. This allowed his family to experience living in Cedar City, Utah; Green River, Wyoming; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Jackson, Wyoming. Steve made certain that his final transfer was back home to Tooele where he was able to finish his career. After retirement, he spent his time giving back to the community, spending time with family and friends that he had met spreading his sense of humor to all. This included lots of golfing with his buddies, they were a very important part of his life and he loved them all. Steve has been a member of the Elks, Eagles and Moose Lodges for over 45 years. He served as the Governor of the Moose Lodge on five different occasions. He was the Moose Idaho/Utah Association President in 2010. He loved his fraternal family and will be greatly missed. Steve married Jill Margetts and together they had three children; Amy, Matthew and Jason. They later divorced. He adopted two more sons, Corby and Chase. Steve later married his best friend and sweetheart, Jolyn LeFevre on May 15, 2004. Her children, Cody and Candice, completed this family union. They have 14 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He is survived by his wife Jolyn, Tooele; children Amy, Taft, California; Matthew, Jackson, Wyoming; Jason, Bakersfield, California; Candice (Jason) Shepherd, Tooele; sister Susan (Robert) Carson, Tooele; brother Scott (Diane) Bevan, Grantsville; sister and brother-in-law Dennis and Jerri Sagers, Rush Valley; Dee Riddle, Tooele; grandchildren and great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Sandra Riddle, son Cody Rollie, and his mother and father-in-law Harvey and Louise LeFevre. Services will be held Feb. 27, 2015 at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main, Tooele, at 11 a.m. A viewing will be held prior at 9 a.m. Graveside services to follow at Tooele Cemetery.
