Neil Stout

Neil Stout passed away on November 4, 2026, at the age of 83.

Born on February 5, 1943, Neil built a life marked by hard work, dedication, and a deep love for the open road. He worked in trucking and driving, a field that suited both his skills and his spirit. Over the years, he drove coast to coast, embracing the demands and rewards of life behind the wheel. Trucking was more than a job to Neil; it was something he truly loved. He loved driving, and he took genuine pride in the work he did. That pride was also reflected in his membership in the Teamsters, an accomplishment that meant a great deal to him. He was a proud member of the Teamsters, and that identity remained an important part of his life.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Susan (nee, Shluter) Stout; stepsons, David Neiman and Darin Neiman; stepdaughters, Julie Ernest, Tracy Schluter; eight grandchildren, Jennifer, Bau, Jacquelyn, Emily, Katie, Nathan, Gary, and Kristin; three great-grandchildren, Kylan, Elliot, and Ryan; Paul (Brad) Keeven, who was like a son to him; and dear friends, Dale and Ginger Kluesner, Mike Shubel, and Crystal Hanson.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Cleva Stout; his first wife of 25 years, Diane Stout; step daughter in law, Gretchen; dear friend, Joe Smith; and his beloved canine companions, Findley, Rags, and Maddie.

Neil will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his commitment to his profession, and the satisfaction he found in a life spent doing what he loved. His memory will remain with all who knew him.
