Our sunshine isn’t as bright today, nor will it be ever for us. A funny joke, a quick wit, sometimes just plain ornery but always willing to dive in to help someone! That was our guy! Tom loved teasing folks. Little kids had his heart strings. Mountains called his name. Hunting was his passion when the leaves turned golden … like his heart.
Tom is survived by his wife and best friend of 51 years, Shari; son Scott James Stout (Marlea) of Fallon, Nevada; stepdaughter Beth Ann Smith of Grand Junction, Colorado; granddaughters Tawna Jaeger of Grand Junction, Jessica Lundsford of Littleton, Colorado, and Madison Ellingwood (C.J.) of Elko, Nevada; grandson Nicholas Stout of Oregon; brother Robert Stout of Buena Vista, Colorado; six great-grandchildren; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
No formal services will be held. As Tom once said, “There is nothing better than sitting down with friends, a good cup of coffee, a funny joke and sharing happy memories.”
