Stephen Underwood

1964 – 2015

Stephen Underwood, 51, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2015 in Ogden Utah. He was born July 6, 1964, in Renton, WA to Barbara and Dell Underwood.

He is preceded in death by his father, Dell Underwood, his brother, Bill Underwood, and his son, Bradley Underwood, along with several other close relatives.

He joined the Navy in 1983 where he served four years on the U.S.S. Constellation CV64, and traveled the world. He married Janette Johnson in 1981 and had two children, Bradley Underwood and Samantha Underwood-Lucero (Christian), and later divorced. He married Lori Barnard in 1992 and had one son, Nicolas Underwood. He is also survived by his mother, Barbara Underwood, two sisters; Susan and Linda Hill (Chuck), and one brother Wayne Underwood (Joan).

Steve was a Seahawk fanatic; the ultimate number 12! He never missed a Seahawk game and you would rarely catch his TV on anything but sports; at least when HE had control of the remote. Steve moved to Utah in 2013 to be closer to his daughter and son-in-law (Samie and Chris). He cherished the hours spent laughing and playing with his three grandchildren; Makaia, Phoenix and Mia. Steve was a very loving and hardworking man, who could make anyone laugh but sadly, Steve struggled with alcoholism, which ultimately took his life.

Funeral services will be held at the Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, WA on October 9, 2015 at 10:30am with a celebration of life to follow at the Skyway VFW, Seattle, WA.
