On Friday, August 28, 2026, our beloved father, grandfather, and friend, Steven Eugene Bagley, aged 78, of Berthoud, Colorado passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family.

Born on October 3, 1947, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, to Thayne L. Bagley and Eugenia Eschler Bagley, Steve lived a life defined by kindness, service, hard work, devotion to his family, and a steadfast testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

After serving a full-time mission in Brazil, Steve married his sweetheart, Ruth Ann James, in the Salt Lake City Temple on August 12, 1970.

For 56 years, they walked hand-in-hand, building a home filled with his patience and love.

After graduating from Washington School of Dental Medicine in 1975, he and his sweetheart made their home in Greeley, Colorado.

He found great joy in serving in various callings, including as a high councilor, home teacher, diligent Bishop, counselor in the Stake Presidency, Seminary teacher, and Sunday School Teacher.

To his children and grandchildren, he was a living example of integrity and Christ-like love.

He taught his five children Brian James Bagley (Luz Maria), Michael Jon Bagley, Alisha Danielle Andersen (David), Adam Christopher Bagley (Rachel), and Andrew Joshua Bagley how to work hard and how to faithfully endure to the end.
