Steven M. Fenwick, 53, of Williston, ND, passed away on Thursday, September 7, 2023 in Ray, ND.

Steve Fenwick was born in Denver, Colorado on June 26th, 1970 to Wesley Sr. and Rebecca Fenwick. The family moved around until settling in Arizona in 1983. He went to Supai Middle School and then Coronado High School.

Steve was a jack of all trades, self-taught man. He would read books in order to learn whatever he wanted to do next. He did everything from crane vending machine owner, Pool Cleaning Business, Limousine driver for prominent people, to trying to start a limo driving business of his own. Heating and Cool in Dallas, TX. He got his realtor license and became a real estate agent. Steve followed in his father’s steps and got his CDL and started driving a Semi-truck. He did that for many years of his life.

Steve met the love of his life (Shanna) in 2004. She had a two-year-old little boy and he fell in love with them both. A year later she gave him the greatest gift of his life, Jessika Katheryn Fenwick. A beautiful baby girl that was the light of his world and what he lived his life for.

One of his dearest possessions was his 1976 Ford Pickup. His brother-in-law Adam gave it to him, and his dear friend Dean Peterson restored it back to life.

Steve would never let you pay for the bill if you went out to dinner with him, he would leave his card at the register just to beat you to it. He enjoyed spending time with his daughter. He enjoyed playing cards with his sister and flying in his dear friend, LaDon’s airplane. And his morning phone calls with his best friend LaVonn aka Sis. If he found a connection with you, you would be a friend for life.

He grew up in Arizona, lived in Utah, Minnesota, Texas, and settled in North Dakota. He wanted to build a foundation and roots for his daughter to grow up in. During his time living here he took a job with MX Services. His Boss Jace became a good friend, to Jace he wasn’t just an employee. Something Steve only experienced twice in life. The Peterson family adopted Steve into their family and they loved him dearly.
