R. Stup Obituary
He was born on August 13, 1952 in Frederick, MD, and was the oldest son of the late Robert Samuel Stup and Mary Elizabeth Redmond Stup. David graduated from Frederick High School Class of 1971. During his senior year was elected along with another classmate to attend a six-week course at the General Motors Training Center in Fairfax, VA. In 2000 he purchased the family business of Stup's Garage & Used Cars, Inc. He owned and operated it until September 2018 when he decided it was time to retire. He was a firm believer of hard work and not sitting idle. David was a member of the Antique Automobile Club of America, Frederick County Farm Bureau, and Sons of the American Legion Francis Scott Key Sq. 11. He is survived by his wife of 48 years Mary Alice Miller Stup, daughter Amanda Elizabeth Winters, brother-in-law, Richard Kenneth Miller Jr. , siblings Mary Ann, Carolyn Sue, Bernice Louise, James Curtis and Lynn Marie.
Arrangements are being handled by Keeney Basford Funeral Home. Services will be private and conducted by Dr. Ray Moreland, as David requested.
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar as wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31, Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?" John 14:1-2 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Legion FSK Post 11, 1450 Taney Ave., Frederick, MD, 21702 or a charity of your choice.

To all of the Stup siblings & MaryAlice and Mandy,
No words can convey the sadness, sorrow & grief I feel for you over Dave's early passing. From young childhood when we moved to Ball Road & our families met, our lives became entwined & there wasn't a day that we weren't part of each other's lives. Even after we were grown & had our own lives, whenever we would see each other, it was as though no time had passed at all. Getting this news was like hearing my own brother had passed .. still in shock. Mary Alice, I can still see you standing in the doorway of the classroom at West Frederick & you kept asking me about "Dave Stup" ..so long ago. May His peace that passes understanding keep you now & always...may you find & remember good memories in the midst of your sorrow..and may you find comfort in knowing Dave passed doing what he enjoyed. Our sympathies & sorrow. With much love, Pat(Lydard) Stark

Mary Alice ;
I am so sorry to learn of Dave’s death. Shane Lowery told me about it. (Mark’s foster son). I enjoyed my visits with you at the shop and enjoyed my business and personal relationship. He died too young and sorry he was unable to enjoy retirement longer. God Bless You and the family.
