Stephen Swensen Obituary
Stephen Romney Swensen made his final flight home to his Heavenly Father on June 6, 2022.
Stephen was born on September 4, 1971, in Bloomington, Indiana, to Phillip Swensen and Markay Bruggeman Swensen. He was Phillip and Markay’s second child, their first son, and he spent his childhood in Cache Valley.
After graduating from Skyview High School, Stephen served in the Washington D.C. North mission. Shortly after returning home, he married his eternal sweetheart, Wendy Ann Morse, on February 11, 1993.
Stephen and Wendy are the proud parents of four children: Madison Bailey, born August 19, 1995; Alexis Markay, born July 11, 1997; Emilee Ann, born February 6, 2001; and Taylor Romney, born July 14, 2005. His family was his greatest joy. They loved watching sports, consuming copious amounts of Sweetart Ropes and Mexican Cokes, and spending so much time together at home. Steve and Wendy enjoyed taking camping trips to Mackay, Idaho, weekenders in Park City, and going to Disneyland as a family.
Stephen attended Utah State University and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. He was a brilliant financial advisor and entrepreneur, starting many businesses over the course of his career.
Stephen is survived by his wife, Wendy, his daughters Madison (Zach) Taylor, Markay (Stockton) Stoker, and Emilee Swensen, his son, Taylor Swensen, and his siblings,
Jenni (Troy) Hobbs, Heather (Jason) Kimber, and Mark (Lindsey) Swensen, Matt (Christine) Swensen, Bobi Briscoe, and Sydney (Brandon) Bruner. He is preceded in death by his mother, Markay Bruggeman Swensen, and his father, Philip Swensen.
The footprint a person leaves on this life is sometimes only visible after they have ascended to the Heavenly side of this eternal journey. Steve left a huge footprint on this life. He will be remembered and missed. Steve is one of the most beautiful blessings that our Heavenly Father has given to everyone that knew him. He was a kind, sweet and loving husband, father and friend.
Funeral services will be held Monday, June 13, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at Lindquist Mortuary in Layton, 1867 No. Fairfield Road.

The world has lost of an absolute prince of a guy. My aviator "brother" from another mother will be missed. Sincerest condolences to the Swensen family.

I just learned of Steve's passing. I knew him for a short time and not very well but he was one of the kindest and most genuine person I have ever met.

I am so, so sorry to learn today of Stephen passing. He became a client of ours last year. He was so so kind to me, and my crew adored him. The entire time we were installing his lights, he was trying to set his daughter up with our crew member. He had all the guys laughing the entire time. I just want to say sorry. What a big personality .

I was privileged to know Stephen for more than a decade as my financial advisor and friend. I looked forward to our annual account reviews (and often proffered transparent excuses for more frequent consultations) just so I could enjoy those reassuring interactions with Stephen, Phil, and Jason. I shall always remember Stephen´s genuine smile and laughter, like a warm hug, offered freely and often. I am a better person in so many ways for having known him. I wish the very best for his family.

We first met Steve when his dad, Phil, brought him into the financial advising venture. We immediately connected and have been friends ever since. Steve was an extremely interesting and sincere person who had a genuine interest in people. We became close over the years and are already missing his presence. Our condolences to his family.

Dear Wendy and family,
Steve's memory will live forever in our hearts. We considered our friend first and financial advisor second. He and Michael shared many stories about airplanes and flying adventures. He never failed to tell me how much he enjoyed my university class. He addressed me as his 'favorite professor' and I thought of him as my favorite student. We send our heartfelt sympathy and prayers during this time.

We are so saddened to learn of Steve's passing. As colleagues of Steve's dad, Phil, at Utah State University, my wife and I watched Steve grow from a young man to a doting father and husband, an avid flyer (like his dad), and a successful businessman. Our deepest condolences to Wendy and family.
