BURLEY – Steven H. Wrigley, a 49-year-old resident of Burley, passed away at his home on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022, of natural causes.

He was born Jan. 30, 1973, in Burley, Idaho. He began school here and in 1983 the family moved to Delta Junction, Alaska. He finished his schooling and graduated from Delta High School. Steven enjoyed managing the high school basketball team, playing ball and being with the team and players. He loved working on the family farm and enjoyed the baby pigs. He also worked at the IGA in Delta Junction stocking shelves, giving hugs, and was the manager over the dairy department.

Steven was the happiest person ever! He greeted everyone – whether he knew them or not – with a huge hug and smile! He accomplished much in his years with us and had so many growth opportunities. He loved playing T-ball and then baseball. He was involved in the Special Olympics while in Alaska and participated in basketball every year. He also went to St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, for Special Olympics.

Steven was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed participating in the various callings he received. He loved being the secretary of the Melchizedek Priesthood Group in his branch in Delta, Alaska, and every priesthood holder got a call from him every month so he could finish his monthly report! He was the best home teacher/minister there ever was! Steven was faithful in everything he did.

Steven is survived by his parents, Rex and Shirlene; his siblings, Bryce (Jan), Delta Jct., Alaska, Shauna (Michael) Blauer, Burley, Karma (Glenn) Rose, Rigby, Idaho, Janean (James) Osmond, Ririe, Idaho, and Darren (Maquel), Burley; and nieces and nephews.

Steven was preceded in death by his twin brother, Lynn.

No matter how much time passed between visits, Steven always greeted me as if i were a close friend. I loved the family reunions when he was there with his extra "spark" of joy and family love.

From Delores W. Gillson and Mike, & family :

Condolences and love from your indirect family in Alaska..It was always wonderful to visit with you at my sister and your cousin Kent C. at their home in Soldotna, and in between. Great seeing you as a greeter in the Anchorage, Ak. temple foyer.. I remember meeting you and your family originally in Burley years ago. May you all feel the comfort and strength to resolve being together again eternally..

From Shannon Milliman:

Oh, Steven, what a joy you were to this world. Thank you for giving, loving, believing every soul had something good to offer. I will miss you so much.
I learned on a dark Alabama morning that my cousin had died and I felt the sorrow wash over me. I remember so many times when I visited Idaho he was happy to talk with me, always made me feel welcome and always made me feel like kin. His spirit was bright. He liked to tell me about his siblings, about my Dad, about our beloved Alaska. As I am writing the sun is coming up this morning and I know it is the same sun Steven would see everyday. I admired his ability to do, accomplish, love his people, celebrate their wins. He, too was an early riser. May he rest in peace for a little while, and knowing Steven he won't rest long, he has work to do on the other side. I loved Stephen so much. What a big loss to all of us.

From Stanley & Sharon Bingham:

Angels in Heaven are rejoicing at the return of a special man who brought joy wherever he went. He had a HUGE heart and shared his love and infectious smile with all who came in contact with him. With Steven, there were no strangers, only those to share his love. There will be one less light in this life without our dear friend and cousin.
