Steve Slottee
April 13, 1945 - March 20, 2014
Steve passed away on Thursday, March 20, 2014, in Salt Lake City. He was 69 years old. Steve was married for over thirty years to his wife, Sue, who passed away in 2006. He had two children, Beth and Chris, and numerous nieces and nephews. He has three grandchildren, who were the center of his life and who he loved dearly. He grew up in Oregon, but his career and family took him to California, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, and ultimately Salt Lake City. A chemical engineer by trade, he worked in chemical plants as well as offices, taught at community colleges and the University of Utah, and eventually co-founded a consulting firm that took him to mines in India, Russia, South Africa, South America and China. Steve passed away after a long struggle and a heroic fight.
He is now with his wife and daughter, looking over his loved ones, including his son Chris, his brother Dick, and sisters Deb and Barb. Steve will be missed by all, and most especially his son who only ever wanted to grow up to be like his dad.
Celebration of life will be held on Monday, March 24th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, where complimentary valet parking will be provided on the north side of the building.

At birthdays and other holidays, it was endearing to watch Steve play and interact with his grandchildren. He so loved his family... and while he may not be present going forward, he will always be close by in the hearts and minds of all who knew him. Chris, so sorry for your loss.

I shall miss Steve and his wisdom in the engineering field in which we worked for so many years. I have had many send their condolences through me to the family. Specifically Richard Jewell, & Andy Fourie of Australia, Ted Lord Canada, Sergio Barrera Chile, and Angus Paterson of South Africa. Both myself and Mella have enjoyed being with Steve and Sue many times around the world. Steve was a real expert in his field and his loss to the industry will be felt for years to come. May the Lord bless your family and your grand children. Now that Steve is free from mortality perhaps he can enjoy being with Sue and Beth and without the pain and stress of this mortality. We all give our love and thoughts to the family. Dan & Mella Bedell

Our sincere condolences to Steve's family. Steve was a fine man that will certainly be missed! We hope that God's promise of a resurrection (John 5:28,29) along with your cherished memories of Steve, will bring you comfort during this difficult time. We, with you, look forward to the fulfillment of God's original purpose for the earth when we can live forever on a peaceful earth along with our loved ones. - Psalms 37:9-11. Even death will be no more!-Revelation 21:3,4. May these promises be of comfort to you as you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead.

Chris,we were so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. We remember the wonderful times with both of your parents when we'd go to dinner & use our season tickets at the Salt Lake Acting Company. Steve left our lives for a while but we were so happy when he surprised us at our door one night. We began socializing again, and between his many trips sporting events were our outings. A hockey game was in the plans but he won't be there in body. Steve, we loved you and will miss you but hope you are in a better place.
