Stephen David Shores
1942 – 2014
S-head was born on October 19, 1942. He passed peacefully with family members on December 17, 2014.
Steve went on an LDS Mission to Australia. He was a good teacher for over 30 years, even "out teachering" his wife. He was President of the Teachers' Association and had a Masters Degree in Education. He enjoyed playing cards, especially duplicate bridge, pinochle and chess.
Steve is survived by his wife Phyllis; daughter Kelsey (Jeff) Popplewell; grandson Roland; brother Jim Shores; sister Marjorie Jan (Tim) Dempsey; sister-in-law Nancy Kirkpatrick; several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews; and his darling dog Trump. Get a Royal Straight Flush in heaven, Steve!

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Humane Society of Utah.
In Loving Memory
Phyllis, Kelsey, My heart truly aches for each of you as I know the pain that you are feeling. A father, Husband, Friend and family Patriarch, is irreplaceable. I wish you all the best in you grieving and recovery. Uncle Steve will be dearly missed by all. His love and affinity for family, and our poker gatherings are some of the best times that I had growing up. I will not forget those, as you each, should not forget the great moments, and laughter you shared that can last for a lifetime. He is at peace now, on to a new adventure. Stay strong, and know if you ever need anything. We are here for you in any way. Love, Bryan, Alyson & Eloise

Nancy and Phyllis I am sorry for your loss. You will miss his wit and intellect that added to your lives on a daily basis. He extended his love to you and enjoyed your companionship and equal intellect. I enjoyed my debates with him, his keen observations and the twinkle in his eye, when he enjoyed something, which seemed more often than some may have realized.
