Steve Haglund Obituary
September 24, 1956 - December 17, 2022
Modesto, California - Steve Haglund was born in Modesto CA to Don and Joann Haglund on 9-24-56 and passed away at home on 12-17-22. Steve lived in Modesto on the ranch he was brought home from the hospital to, his entire life. He graduated from Ceres High School in 1974 where he was very active in 4-H and FFA. He loved to show beef cattle and won many awards including the American Farmer Degree. He also loved to hunt and fish, He went to Colorado and Alaska several times and especially loved the annual Kennedy Meadows opening day of deer season trip with all his friends and his sons when they got old enough. There were even a few couples pack trips too. After graduation Steve wanted to start his own cow/calf herd. Before even getting married he rented some irrigated pasture and got his own loan to do just that. He continued this till his last day. His father and grandfather were in the livestock auction business and in the late 70's he went to auctioneer school and joined his Dad in the business. After his Dad's death in 1998 he took over running Farmers Livestock Market in Modesto and in 2007 the business was moved to Oakdale.
Steve will be deeply missed by both family and friends. He married his high school sweetheart Jennifer (Sanders) Haglund in 1981 and they had two sons. Clinton (Stephanie) and Easton (Jillian). He also adored his grandchildren Kendyll, Cash, Paige, Drew, Emily and Weslie. They all loved to come to Grandma and Grandpa's to run around the ranch and ride horses and quads with him. He also left his sister Sheri (Dave) Linhares, nephew Dylan Linhares and niece Merisha Torrano along with brother in law Jeff Sanders.
A funeral service and luncheon for Steve will be held Saturday January 14, 2023 at FES Oakdale, 140 N Lee, Oakdale, CA 95361 at 12:00 noon.

Growing up "in town" in Ceres, Steve was the very first Westport guy I met when we all joined up at Walter White JH in 1968, then graduating together at CHS in '74. He was just a great guy. RIP Steve.
