In memory of

Pat M. Stout

of Philip, South Dakota, died on Friday, October 20, 2017 at the Philip Nursing Home at the age of 90

Pat M. Stout was born August 20, 1927, in Philip, South Dakota, the son of Gordon and Hazel (Hutton) Stout. Pat was raised in his early years on the ranch west of Kadoka. During the “Dirty Thirties”, the family moved to Pierre where Pat attended 4-6th grades, later moving to Sioux Falls, where he graduated from Washington High School in 1946. While there, he excelled and lettered in basketball, baseball, and track.

After high school, dad joined the US Army, serving for two years. Upon returning, he bought the Alfred Boock place (near the old family ranch) for $10 per acre. Pat married Elizabeth Marie Drury on April 23, 1949, in Chamberlain, South Dakota, making their home on the ranch. In the early years, Roy, Bun and Pat had S&S Construction, constructing dams, roads, and terraces. Pat was a hard worker, but enjoyed the rural life, raising horses, Charolais cattle and farming. He was involved for many years with the National Grassland Association, and a former president of the White River Grazing Association Board.

In 1975, after the children were grown, they went south for the winter months to Sun Lakes, Arizona, near Phoenix, returning to the ranch in the summer months. Pat enjoyed playing cards, golfing, and spending time with friends and family. He was a member of the Kadoka Presbyterian Church and the Sun Lakes United Methodist Church.

Pat was united in marriage to Carol Jamison on September 5, 2009, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They made their home in Sioux Falls until moving into the Philip Nursing Home, where they have since resided.

Survivors include his wife Carol; four children, Sandi Bauman Stephenson (Bob) of Torrington, Wyoming, Patsy Ferguson (Irwin) of Kadoka, Jerry Stout (Annie) of Kadoka, and Joe Stout (Denise) of Pierre; 16 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; a sister Lynn Blumberg of Missoula, Montana; a half-sister Ava Wendt (Gene) of Phoenix, Arizona; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Pat was preceded in death by his first wife Elizabeth “Liz” Stout; his parents; two brothers Roy Stout (Mary) and Bernard “Bun” Stout; and a son-in-law Dave Bauman.
