In Memoriam

The purpose of this blog is to honor our former classmates who attended Bountiful High School as members of the class of 1965 and are now deceased. These souls, who have gone before us, were our friends, our associates, and an important part of our own history. They deserve to be remembered. We were able to research a school photo for most of these former classmates. We have also located obituaries for many of them, and have included statistical information regarding the death of those for whom an obituary was not found. 

Our profound thanks to all of our friends who have sent information to assist us in preparing this labor of love. Researched and compiled by Yvonne Rasmussen and Diane Day.

**Due to Blogger limitations, dates for those who passed before 1970 will display inaccurately in the chronological list. You'll find those classmates' obituaries listed under 1970.

Steve Fairbourne

 










Bountiful, UT--Steven Ray Fairbourne, beloved brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully at home the morning of August 1, 2025, at the age of 78. Steve had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer. He was under the care of Hospice. 

Steve was born on November 17, 1946, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Raymond E. Fairbourne and Ada Stewart. He grew up in Bountiful, Utah, in a large, blended family. 

He is survived by his brothers and sisters: Lucille Leonard, Mike Fairbourne, Carol Lewis, Gayle Grymes, Wally St. Jeor, Patzy Vanderberg, Perri St. Jeor, and Mark St. Jeor. He also had many nephews, nieces, in-laws, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Stu Davis and Randy Fairbourne. 

Steve worked for many years in construction with his stepdad, Wally St. Jeor, and with his brothers. After retiring from construction work, Steve worked at Lakeside Golf Course in West Bountiful, Utah, which he loved. 

Growing up, Steve was a very good athlete. He excelled at all sports. As an adult, he played in softball, bowling and golf leagues. 

While in Jr. High School, Steve gained the nickname "Peanuts." That name stayed with him all of his life. He graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965. 

Steve will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him. Per his request, Steve will be cremated. He has asked that no funeral or memorial service be held.
