He was born May 18, 1942 in Tooele, Utah to Glen St. Clair and Rena Ina Higley St. Clair. He grew up in Salt Lake and graduated from South High School in 1961. Steven served as an LDS Missionary in the West Spanish American Mission from June 1962 to January 1965. Shortly after his return home he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in Korea. After his time in Korea he returned to the States for further military service, and while on leave in 1967 was injured in a motorcycle accident. He spent 9 months in rehab and the remainder of his life as a paraplegic. Because of the seriousness of his injuries and the nature of paralysis, the doctors at that time told him he wouldn't live past forty.
