Steven Kent Ochsenbein

Steve was born in Ogden, Utah, to Sherman and Janine Ochsenbein. In 1978, his mother opened J&S Harvest Health Foods. Steven worked there until eventually purchasing the store and renaming it Steve and Irina’s Down to Earth. Steve married his late wife Irina in 2011 and acquired the store shortly after. He loved working in the health food industry, stating, “I like helping people.” He truly believed in organic foods and supplementation as a way of life.

Steve fathered two children, Daniel and Angela. He is survived by Angela; son-in-law’ Brian; and grandson, Colin Thompson. Steve loved his visits with friends and family and looked forward to seeing Colin’s smile, hearing his laugh, and tickling his feet. His family and customers adored Steve. He enjoyed hiking with his daughter, gardening, and working at his store. In his younger years, he spent countless Saturdays on the slopes with his children at Snowbasin. He will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of meeting him.

A celebration of life will be held in honor of Steve on October 29, 2023, at 2:00p.m. at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd, Ogden, Utah.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to the ALS Foundation.  https://www.als.org/ .
