Steven Tuke Obituary
Steven R Tuke, beloved son and brother, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2026 in Ogden, Utah. He was the son of Duane Crawford Tuke and Marilyn Nelson Tuke. He was born on December 19, 1959 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Steven was a hard worker and spent most of his time out of doors working as a gardener, hospitality maintenance worker and a house painter. He spent his happiest times with his family camping in the mountains. He cared deeply for his friends and family and was always ready to help at the drop of a hat for those he loved.
He graduated from Layton High School and then joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany and Texas. He had a deep love of art and was a talented artist in oils, pencil and abstract creations.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
He is survived by his brothers: Terry Tuke of Farmington, Utah; Dennis Tuke of Layton, Utah; Randy Mark Tuke of Arizona; and sisters, Debra Annette Karlson of Pocatello, Idaho and Jennifer Aday of Alabama.
By his request there will be no service.
