Steven Charles Laird

Steve graduated from Superior High School in 1971. After high school, Steve worked in the oilfield and construction industries in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. Steve was a highly skilled heavy equipment operator in Routt County, Colorado since 1990.

Steve married Lori Tyer in Heiser, KS on 6/29/1986, after being together since 1981. Steve & Lori were blessed with two wonderful daughters, Stephanie and Danielle.

Steve’s biggest joys were his family and friends. He truly enjoyed watching grandsons Taylor and Ghauge participate in sports – but especially when they wrestled. Another family favorite past time is playing cards and dominos with all members being fairly competitive. Steve and his mom often had debated rummy card playing sessions through the years that carried on especially after she moved to Hayden. Another favorite pastime, and one that most will likely to remember him by, was riding and traveling on his classic Harley Davidson. Even though he hadn’t been able to ride much recently, it was always one of his goals to be back in the wind. Steve had many outdoor adventures while camping, fishing, hunting, riding snowmobiles, gold panning and off-roading.

Steve is survived by his wife, Lori, his daughters Stephanie (Rick) Potter and Danielle Laird all of Hayden. He is also survived by his oldest grandson, Taylor Powell, and his wife Ana, grandsons Ghauge and Mountain, granddaughter Aspen, and step grandsons Joziah and Davyn. His mother Opal Laird of Hayden, CO, sister Nancy (Otho) Burton of Denver, NC,half-brothers Tom (Suzzette) Laird of Bryan, TX and Ron (Brenda) Laird of Lincoln, NE, sister-in law Lorna Rae (Jim) Dooley of Concordia, KS and half sister-in law Lisa Chauffe of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada also survive.

Steve was preceded in death by his father Larry, his sister, Janet Oldham, chosen brother Butch Dietrich, and his mom-in-law, Carolyn Miller.

Services for Steve will take place Tuesday, April 18th, 2023 at 3:00 PM, in The Haven Community Room in Hayden Colorado. Sweets and coffee to follow.
