Steven Gines Obituary
1968-2025
Salt Lake City, UT-In loving memory of Steven Marc Gines: Age 56, born on October 4, 1968, passed away unexpectedly on September 23, 2025. Marc was a force of nature and had a free, adventurous spirit. He tragically drowned. However, he was doing something he loved; he was on a beautiful lake with his son, and caught some great fish that day. Anybody who truly knows Marc knows this is the way he would have preferred to leave this life.
Marc was preceded in death by his father, Steven Glen Gines, and survived by his mother: Judith, brother: Collin, his nephews: Brayden and Bryson, his children: Alyssa, Preston, Kailey, and his grandchildren: Axton and Haven and had two grandchildren who are due to be born in November.
Marc found joy in all things life had to offer. His love for his children and family was absolute and unconditional. He loved the outdoors: fishing, camping, and hunting. He was truly a jack of all trades. He was innovative, artistic and creative. There wasn't anything he couldn't figure out how to do – from fixing and rebuilding cars and motorcycles to roofing and carpentry; if he didn't know how to do it, he would figure out how. He had done everything at least once, and was naturally good at everything he learned to do. He loved to cook - to him, the best meals were made by smoking some meat in his backyard. He had the best sense of humor. He had a way of making every story he told funny and interesting, and there wasn't a day that he didn't find something to laugh about, or help make someone else laugh.
His family would like to thank the Summit County and Wasatch County Search and Rescue along with the Division of Wildlife and Natural Resources who searched for several hours before finding our beloved father, son, brother, uncle, and friend in Echo Reservoir. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Marc's memorial service and celebration of life will be held on October 11, 2025 at the Bluffdale Main Park Pavilion 2400 W 14400 S services starting at 2PM.
