Greg Stout

Gregory Carl Stout, age 75, of Stinnett, Texas, passed away on June 6, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Greg lived a life marked by service, strength, adventure, humor, and a deep, abiding faith.

Born to Dell and Margaret Ann Stout, Greg was also deeply influenced by the legacy of his grandparents, Perry & Thelma Stout and Homer & Elsie Nix. He is preceded in death by his brother, James Douglas Reed, and by his beloved father-in-law and mother-in-law, Henry & Mary R. Yake.

Greg graduated from Stinnett High School in 1969 and married the love of his life, Marsha Yake, on June 22, 1972, at Victory Baptist Church in Stinnett, Texas. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering commitment, celebrating 53 years of marriage.

He is survived by his wife Marsha; daughters Tiffany (Karl) Wendt, Carrie (Jon) Conaway, and Becky (Basil) Younis; and his cherished grandchildren Cody and Kit Conaway, and Hannah and Noah Younis. He is also survived by his brother Harold Stout of Vermillion, OH, and his sister Julie Stout of Stinnett, TX, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends whom he dearly loved.

Greg was a man of faith and a longtime member of Victory Baptist Church. He served faithfully as a deacon at Lake Meredith Baptist Church and was most recently a member of New Life Church. His relationship with God shaped the way he lived, loved, and gave of himself to others.

Greg worked tirelessly on the family ranch southwest of Stinnett for over 20 years, raising cattle, working the land, and instilling in his children the values of grit and perseverance. He also owned and operated Diamond H Backhoe Service, forming strong connections throughout the construction and oilfield industries before returning to his long-standing career at the Phillips 66 refinery.

At Phillips 66, Greg served with excellence for nearly 50 years as an instrument technician and cavern specialist. He led the refinery's medical response team and served on the fire response team. Greg was also part of the emergency deployment team that responded to Hurricane Katrina, extending his commitment to service beyond his hometown.

Greg volunteered as a paramedic in Stinnett for over 30 years, often responding to emergency calls in the middle of the night after long workdays. He later became a certified paramedic instructor, sharing his knowledge and training future EMTs at the community college. His life motto was, "Never miss a chance to be an angel to those in their time of need," and he lived it faithfully.

Though he didn't move to Stinnett until age 15, Greg proudly called it home and never lost touch with his classmates. He loved his country, was proud to be an American, and never hesitated to step in and help.

Greg's childhood was marked by seasons of deep struggle, and it left him with a heart full of compassion for children and families. He quietly made sure others had food, support, and dignity during hard times, embodying the belief that no child should go without. He was known for quietly showing up with exactly what was needed-no fanfare, just love in action.

A gifted storyteller, Greg captivated others with tales of his adventures, faith, work, and family. He connected easily with people, whether in person or online, and had a way of encouraging others right when they needed it.

Greg's favorite hobbies were simple and full of love: spending time with his family, reading and listening to audiobooks, traveling, enjoying classic rock and roll, and figuring out how to fix anything-usually with the help of a YouTube tutorial and plenty of patience.

Greg will be missed more than words can express. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched-with his hands, his heart, and his faith. The stories he told, the people he served, and the love he gave so freely will never be forgotten.

A celebration of Greg's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 21st, at First Baptist Church, 100 S. Hedgecoke St., Borger, Texas, 79007.
