Stephen D. Conde Obituary (1948 - 2017)

Salt Lake City, UT - Steve Conde, age 69, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on December 8, 2017. He was born May 1, 1948 in SLC, UT to Wayne Conde and Virginia Johnson. Steve married Janet Nordgran, his devoted wife of 48 years and mother of their 5 children: Rachel (Matt), Aaron (Jamie), Rebecca, Clint (Dorothy), and Russell. His seven grandchildren include Zane, Ivy, Jayci, Kayli, Izaac, Ragnar, and Sigurd. Survived by sisters: Vicki Serre, Paula (Steve) Haycock, and Claudia (Brian) Bouck. Steve graduated from Murray High School in 1966. He worked for decades in the skilled trades including the flooring industry and as a general contractor. In recent years, he worked as a consultant, installation trainer, and technical representative for major international flooring manufacturers. He was a true entrepreneur and leader at heart. Steve’s family has always been priority number-one, whether it was teaching them valuable life skills, making sure all their needs were met, or being there as a friend to talk to. He always made time to help his children in any way he could. Steve was an artist who had many hobbies and interests. He enjoyed the outdoors, including: fishing, hunting, hiking, gold-panning, rockhounding, woodworking, and metalworking (especially with copper). Steve was always busy with endless projects at home and was like the Energizer Bunny who disliked being idle. Being a very social and outgoing person, many people enjoyed his company and humor. He was such a big tease and full of sarcasm, but did it with love. We will all miss him dearly and look forward to seeing him again. A funeral service will be held on Friday, December 15, 2017, at 1:00 P.M. at Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Home South Valley, 1007 West South Jordan Parkway, South Jordan, Utah with a viewing prior from 10:00 A.M.-12:45 P.M.
