Louis Stagner Obituary

Louis Stagner passed away in his home with his puppies on February 9, 2026, at the age of 80 in Page, Arizona. Born on March 30, 1945, Louis was a mountain of a man but was a teddy bear underneath. He would do anything for the people who loved him.

A proud veteran, Louis served in the Army, embodying the discipline and resilience that defined his character throughout his life. Post-service, he channeled his skills and passions into the world of automobiles, becoming a revered figure in the car show community. Louis was not only a spectator but a creator, known for his exceptional ability to build and repair hot rods. His craftsmanship earned him respect and admiration from fellow enthusiasts.

Louis will be remembered for his steadfast nature and his role as a mentor, always ready to impart knowledge to those eager to learn. He leaves behind a legacy of strong values and a deep impact on those around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harrison and Uda Stagner, and his sisters, Mary Hofer and Ramona Stagner. Louis's life will be celebrated at the Lou Stagner memorial car and motorcycle show this coming October in Page, an event that will undoubtedly mirror his passion and spirit.
