Page Stegner, author and conservationist who helped the University of Utah secure volumes of documents by his father, Wallace Stegner, died last month in Reno, Nev.
Stegner, 80, helped facilitate creation of the Wallace Stegner Center for environmental studies at the university’s S.J. Quinney School of Law, and was a recurring presence in Utah’s literary scene.
“He was committed to protecting Utah’s wild landscape and key to continuing the Stegner tradition in our state,” said Dave Livermore, director of The Nature Conservancy’s Utah Field Office.
Page Stegner was born in Salt Lake City in 1937 and was Wallace and Mary Stegner’s only child.
