Xander Dee-Lynn Street

Xander Dee-Lynn Street, age 18, tragically passed away on July 13, 2024, in Magna, Utah. He was born on the first day of spring, March 21, 2006, in West Jordan, Utah to Cody Lynn Street and Jennifer Marie Lester Bauman.

Xander had a fierce determination to live life on his terms, with intense energy and passion. His greatest passion was fishing. He would fish any time, any place, and on any body of water. Grandpa Ed was his favorite fishing buddy, we find comfort knowing they are now together, by their favorite lake, casting out their reels and sharing fish stories. Xander also had a knack for all types of animals and often brought home a new pet to add to his ever-growing collection. He also cherished spending time with family and friends traveling, boating, camping, hiking, playing video games, and working on small engines, and computers.

Xander was a beloved son, brother, friend and most importantly a father. Xander has a beautiful 19-month-old daughter, Xahlesse Mae Street, who he loved very much. He always put her needs above his own and cherished every moment he spent with her. We feel his spirt will live on through her. His family and friends will remember him for his passionate personality, his plethora of information about things that he loved, and the ability to light up a room with his smile. He had an unwavering dedication to those he loved.

He is survived by his daughter Xahlesse Street, Parents Cody and Shelly Street, Jennifer and Michael Bauman. Siblings Kaiya, Sariyah, Felicity, Taeshawn, and Ryker (Ry Ry). Grandparents Rick Phillips, Cindy Street, Janica Haun, Randy Lester, and Jana and Ben Cahoon as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is preceded in death by grandparents Edward and Cindy Espinosa and Uncle Justin Lester.
