Steven Wayne Laird

Steven Wayne Laird, 78, of Tiffin, passed away Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at his home.

He was born March 10, 1947, in Fremont, to Wayne and Geraldine (Riser) Laird. On July 10, 1970, he married Dawn L. Hoyda, who preceded him in death July 14, 2021.

Survivors include his sons, Kevin (Ashley) Laird and Ryan (Amy) Laird, of Tiffin; daughters, Mindy (Dennis) Young of Tiffin, and Heidi (Johnathon) Peeler of Findlay; grandchildren, Alesha Van Beveren, Felicity Laird, Alec Van Beveran, Olivia Grover, Olivia Young, Ava Laird, and Carter Young; and great-grandchildren, Breighton, James, Cayden, Jevic, Jetson, Nolan, and Adeline.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife; and sisters, Carol and Sandra.

Steven graduated from Old Fort High School in 1965 before attending The University of Toledo for Electrical Engineering. His early career included working for Tiffin Metal and Eckrich, where he then decided to pursue his lifelong passion for the outdoors by starting his own lawn care business, which he owned and operated for 25 years.

Steven enjoyed spending time with his family, friends from Old Fort High School, and traveling across the U.S, especially if it included a good meal. With a passion for everything outdoors and gardening, and a deep lifelong love for animals of every kind, including his beloved cats, you could always catch Steven running around doing things he loved, with people he loved.
