Fred Arthur Stout III

To this day, I often think about Fred. When I graduated from OHS, that was the last time I saw him. Fred was a brilliant man, skillful in so many areas of life. Fred was competitive, which made him so successful in his working life, etc. The older I get, my friends mean so much more to me! I was so blessed to know Fred! Also, the Stout Family was an amazing bunch! All so intelligent, and so loving! May God bless Fred and the entire family!

Kim, Anne, Laura, Mary and Noell and all of your family-- my prayers are with each of you during this time of grief. Fred was a part of my entire growing up in Odessa and as part of the OHS band family. He was so talented and fun! His smile made so many of us smile. His successes as an adult are not surprising. It was a blessing to have called him my friend.

Laura and Family,
Sorry to hear of Fred's passing. I remember his warm, friendly demeanor and sense of humor (always used appropriately). He was definitely a lot like his big sister, Laura....smart, independent, a risk-taker, and always fun to be with. May God continuously remind you of the great moments you had with him...and may you always remember that the "faith you carry will one day carry you."

Laura I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Fred as a great "kid" who loved to pester us when we were using the pool but always so sweet.

I am saddened to learn of Fred's death. Fred and I were roommates at the Naval Academy and studied aerospace engineering together. We also went on the same "Youngster Cruise" aboard the USS Juneau, LPD 10, in the summer of 1971. I remember standing by Fred, in formation,as we manned the rail entering Sydney Harbor. My last contact with Fred was during a visit to Boulder, CO when he gave me a tour of campus. Fred was a wonderful and very popular person. My condolences to the family of such a...

I am so sorry for your loss. I have not seen "Fred" since high school but he was such a nice person. From reading his obituary, his accomplishments were certainly not surprising. He was an extraordinary gentleman and scholar. God bless each of you. Patty Webb Williamson

I'm so greatly saddened by the news of Fred's passing. I recall his musical talents, his leadership skills, his entusiastic pursuit of excellence as a student, and his good humored approach to life. Heartfelt condolences to all friends and family.

The news of Fred's death is so shocking and sad. I have lost touch with him such that I didn't even know he was sick. He was an important part of my young life, and will always be remembered fondly. Smart, talented, charming--he had it all. Kim and family, my heart goes out to you.

Ann, Laura and family my prayers and condolences are sent to you. I am sorry for your loss and pray God's spirit bring you comfort in the following days and weeks.
