Steven "Marcus" Cheek

Steven Marcus Cheek, 48, passed away Monday, June 19, 2023, in West Valley, UT.

There are no services scheduled at this time.

Marcus was born on May 26, 1975. Steven was a humble man, one that always put other’s feelings before his. He loved his children and family; to him, his greatest accomplishment was his three beautiful children. He was so proud and supportive of his oldest son, Steven’s, artwork and drawings, posting them online. He was proud of his middle daughter, Sabrina’s, band accomplishments, and his baby girl Simone. We call her Monie, his up and coming actress looking for her name in lights, he will be watching from above. He liked Carolina basketball and as sad as it may seem, he enjoyed driving his truck. He was in the Navy over ten years where he served his country well. He served some time in Hawaii, where he married his wife. Most of all, he spent time with his children when he was off from driving his truck. He was a beautiful son and he called his mom just to say, “are you okay mom?” We would talk for hours while he was driving down the road. I will miss those calls, and his children will miss their father; he will miss their weddings, birthdays and accomplishments. Steven was a Gemini, sign of a twin, if only that was so, then I would have a second chance. I know this obituary seems it is about everyone else, but that’s what Steven was to the people mentioned in this obituary, everything. “There is no me without you Mom” was the last text I received from Steven. Little did he know there is no me without him. My heart is broken rest in peace, my son.

Steven was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wilbert and Eula Mae Cheek; uncles, James Cheek, Thomas Cheek, Ray Cheek, Causey Cheek; and aunt, Ollie Day.

He is survived by his children, Steven Cheek, Jr., Sebrina Cheek, Samone, Cheek; mother of his children, Shonda Cheek; mother, Ruby Burnett; step-father, Charles Staley, Sr.; brother, Charles Staley, Jr.; a host of relatives and friends.
