Steve Slagle
Steve Slagle was born on July 30, 1952, in Bremerton,
Wash. to Gerald (Elmer) and Irene Slagle. He passed
away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Belfa'tr on July
7, 2014.
Steve leaves on earth his morn Irene Slagle-Ormiston
(Wayne); his son Jim Slagle (Kelly); his daughter Melissa
Lewis (John); his sisters Jo'ni Slagle and Jill Sullivan
(Dan); his nieces Amanda Sullivan, Morgan Bradley
(Ed) and Shay Sullivan; his two grandchildren Kate and
Jackson Lewis and his former wife Nettie Trevino. He
joins his dad Elmer and best friends Llyle and Caldwell
in heaven.
Steve graduated from North Mason High School in
1970 and furthered his education at Central Washington
University. He was employed at PSNS as a nuclear
pipefitter. He was hardworking, smart and resourceful.
In high school he worked on his Uncle Al's Christmas
tree farm and at Hallmark. He bought his first home
at age 17. Throughout his life he spent immeasurable
time finding the 'perfect' Hallmark card and writing
endearing messages to his loved ones. His penmanship
was impeccable block letter, similar to his dad's.
Steve was a passionate man with a magnetic personality
and a heart of gold. He truly appreciated the treasures
in life--his grandchildren, a great story, amber colored
agates, cracked crab and sherbet sunsets on the Hood
Canal.
He found serenity outdoors. He relished the fall and its
many wonders. He enjoyed long drives through the back
roads of the woods, fishing beaver ponds and picking
wild mushrooms. He loved the challenge of finding and
picking enough wild blackberries to make a pie for the 4th
of July. He was drawn to the salt water and loved spending
time on the Hood Canal hunting for agates, kicking back
on the beach, waterskiing and boating on glassy water.
Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be
made to the Hood Canal Land Trust. An online memorial
can be seen at www.lewischapel.com
We love you, old man!
Love, Jim and Melissa
