Mount Pleasant

Steven Reid Goble, age 76, passed away on August 24th, 2024 at his home in Mt. Pleasant, UT. Steven was born May 6th, 1948, to Edward Edgar Goble and Mary Reva Bown in Manti, UT. Steven was the oldest of 4 children. He married Ellen Mae Brotherson on April 2, 1967, in Elko, NV. They raised their two boys Steven Troy and Ricky Ray Goble in Mount Pleasant, UT.

Most of his early childhood was spent in Manti and Ephraim, UT helping his grandparents and stepfather LaRell Larsen raise turkeys at the family farm. Steven attended Manti High School. During his Junior year, he met Ellen at the weekly armory dance in Mt. Pleasant. They dated for a year and a half before they were married. A year later they welcomed their first son Troy and two years later Rick joined the family.

Steven worked in construction for 16 years and was a member of the Operating Engineers Local Union No.3 for 34 years. His job took him to Nevada, California, Colorado, and Utah. His most memorable projects were working in Area 51 and aiding in the clean-up of the Thistle, UT flood in 1983.

Steven was able to follow his dream of opening his own auto body shop. He and his two boys worked weekends for many years to build the shop and in 1990, they were able to open Laser Auto Body. Steven was able to teach both his sons and two grandsons the workings of the auto body shop. To know Steven was to know that he was very dedicated to his work, and he continued working until the very end.

In their spare time, Steven and Ellen, worked tirelessly to rebuild the old Aspen Hills Lodge, turning it into a family cabin where the whole family enjoyed many holidays, events, and parties.

Later in life, he found a love for raising cattle, giving each their own unique name.

Steven enjoyed restoring his 1970 Chevelle,1969 Camero, and many other classic vehicles. Most days you could find him at the shop or having coffee visiting with friends.
