Obituary of Richard K. Stout

Carry on my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest don’t you cry no more. – Kansas Richard Keith Stout isn’t getting your typical obituary because he wasn’t your typical man. Richard lost his battle to cancer in his home, surrounded by the people he loves. His hands and body were held and kissed, along with words of comfort and love spoken to him up until his very last breath. Richard lived a life that was completely encompassed with his wife, and two daughters. He lived to care for his family, he was selfless in every single way a human could be. He was worried about his family even in his very last days. Richard didn’t make any monumental discoveries or change the world on a large scale. What he did do was give his Wife and two daughters the best love they could have received from anyone. Richard demonstrated an unfailing love, dedication, and commitment forever to his family. He worked two to three jobs to help provide for his family, never complained and he did it without question. Richard is survived by loving wife: Barbara Stout, daughter Stacey Sweeney (Francis) granddaughters Tessa and Skya Sweeney, daughter Jessica Stout and grandson Braid Stout, who will continue to love just as hard and spread that commitment and dedication throughout their lives. He is also survived by his brothers Gregory, Gary and Rodney along with sister in laws Brenda and Ruth, and many nieces and nephews.
