Douglas Stout Obituary
Peoria - Douglas W. Stout, 37, formerly of Peoria, Ill., died peacefully Saturday, Aug. 12, 2006, at his home in Toledo, Ohio, following three years courageously living with ALS.
Doug was born in Singapore on May 30, 1969, to Ronald and Fira Stout of Sterling, Kan., and married Cay Mateyko, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, on Dec. 31, 1997.
Doug and Cay have two wonderful children, Jackson and Jami. Doug's sister, Kim, resides in Bloomfield, Mich., with her husband, Kyle, and their two children. Also surviving is Doug's grandmother, Anita Oden of Sterling, Kan.
A 1987 graduate of Dunlap High School in Peoria, Ill., Doug graduated in 1992 from Iowa State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering. Doug was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.
After college graduation, Doug worked for Bechtel Corporation in its Pipeline Division and spent his early years traveling the world managing pipeline projects. Doug met his wife, Cay, in 1997 while both were on business in Bangkok, Thailand. In 1999 Doug began working for Welded Construction in Perrysburg, Ohio, as a Senior Project Engineer.
Doug remained close to his high school and college friends, as evidenced by the 150 people who attended his surprise 35th birthday party in 2004 on a roof top at Wrigley Field.
Doug and Cay have become strong advocates for ALS related causes including independent living services that create dignity rather than dependence.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 18, at Epworth United Methodist Church, 3077 Valleyview Drive at Central Avenue in Toledo, Ohio.
Memorials can be directed to ALS Association of Northern Ohio or Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
Doug will be buried in Sterling, Kan., among family members who preceded him.
