Michael Steven Mathie, known affectionately as Mike, breathed life into every day of his life from October 29, 1947, until January 30, 2026. He passed away peacefully at home. Born a son of Gerald and Henrietta Mathie in
Salt Lake City, UT, Mike was a man of ambition, generosity, courage, and compassion, attributes that defined his personal and professional life.
A Salt Lake City native, Mike lived in Huntington, Utah before finally settling in Ogden in 1996. As a general contractor, Mike was self-employed and thrived in the construction industry, where his ambitious spirit was evident. He retired in 2020, leaving a legacy of architectural wonders that will stand the test of time. His entrepreneurial spirit was a testament to his courage and tenacity, and his generous nature was echoed in the construction enterprise he built from the ground up.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mike treasured the simple pleasures of life. He loved to work with his hands, whether it was farming or gold mining, and exploring ghost towns was a favorite pastime. Camping and boating with his family offered him immeasurable joy, and those cherished moments will remain in the hearts of his loved ones. Mike's compassion was most evident in his devotion to his family. His wife, children, and grandchildren were the center of his universe, and he was a beacon of love and support to them.
Mike is survived by his loving wife, Jeanie Mathie, their sons, Derrick Stewart and Daniel Blankenship, a daughter, Sandra Carlson, and four grandchildren, Brooke (Sean) Endsley, Kassidee and McKinley Stewart, Ace Carlson and three great-grandsons. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Henrietta Mathie, a brother, Gary. As we remember Mike, we celebrate a man whose life was a testament to ambition, generosity, courage, and compassion.
Mike's ashes will be scattered at a cherished family place at a later date.
We encourage everyone who knew Mike to cherish his memory and celebrate his life. Please share your memories, stories, and pictures on his memorial page at www.myers-mortuary.com, as we remember a man who touched so many lives.
