Robert Alvah Stout

1941 - 2015

Robert Alvah Stout peacefully passed away on August 27th at the age of 74. His life was full of adventure. As an early Utah mountaineer, he had many first ascents to his credit. He was masterful at creating something from nothing. He turned his passions for food, the outdoors and bicycles into successful businesses. He even imported the first Italian racing bikes into the US. He changed careers, built some of the first houses in the Park City boom and owned a successful residential and commercial construction business. Construction was the perfect fit because Bob could outwork anybody, and he continued to work hard right up until the end. He served a full-time mission in France, developing a lifelong love of Paris and everything French. He mentored young men as a Scoutmaster several times in his life. He was a soft-spoken man and a gentle soul. He always thought of others before himself. He accepted everybody and was very forgiving. He is survived by his wife, Jolene; her children, Shawn Olsen, SharRee (Curt) Frogley, Michele (Steven) Henrie, and Kyler Olsen; and Bob's children Scott (Ann), Allison (Jon) Baddley, and Braden. He and Jolene have 15 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Jennifer. His north star was his family and would say, "Family is everything." Join us for a celebration of Bob's life Thursday Sept. 3rd from 6-8 PM at the Parley's First LDS Ward, 2350 South 2100 East.
