Steven A. Day
April 29, 1955 - July 1, 2014
Steven A. Day, 59, passed away peacefully in his Missouri home on Tuesday July 1, 2014. He was born on April 29, 1955 in Fillmore, Utah to James Alexander and Ilene Safford Day. He lived in Layton, Utah as a young boy and throughout most of his adulthood. After graduating from Layton High School he served an LDS mission in France-Belgium and attended the University of Utah where he received a bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering.

Steve married Lynette Kinard and shared many happy years together with their four children. He had a profound influence on the lives of his children and was someone they greatly loved and cherished. He was a delightful grandfather and was quick to play and tease. During his career he worked at Kennecott Copper, Hercules, and ATK. He was well-known and respected among his peers and coworkers.

Steve has a passion in life for stick option trading, smoking meat, watching and participating in sports, and photography. He loved spending time outdoors and was often found fly fishing, camping, boating, and gardening. Steve was an avid to-it-yourselfer and it was never a surprise to see him under the hood of the car or working on home projects or repairs. He has always liked unique hobbies, some of which included mining for gold, metal detecting, tying his own fishing flies, or cultivating his own mushrooms.

Following his divorce, Steve moved to Missouri. While living there, he retried from ATK and married Irina Wachstetter, who brought him great joy in the last few years of his life. He enjoyed retirement and spent time traveling and playing golf. Steve was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend and will be greatly missed by many.

He is preceded in death by his daughter, Heather Day, his brother, Mike Day, and his parents. Steve is survived by his wife, Irina, his children Jaimi (West) Brewer, Tyler (Melanie) Day, Tiffany (Paul) Wilhelm, his step-chidren Kristina Sadovnikova and Sophia Wachstetter, 11 grandchildren, his former wife Lynette (Jerry) Smith, and siblings Cary (Sherrie) Day and Dianna (David) Evans.

Steve taught his family many life lessons, one of which is to leave things better than they were found. He has done just this and has left his world better that he found it.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road. Friends may visit family Monday, July 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from 9 to 9:45, at the mortuary. Interment, Fillmore City Cemetery at 3 p.m. in Fillmore, Utah.
