He was born in Russellville on July 6, 1953, to his father, John Curtis Stout, and his mother, Rachel Franks Stout. He was preceded in death by both of his parents and his maternal (Charles Dewey and Pluma Franks) and paternal (John Austin and Alice Lucille Stout) grandparents.
He is survived by his sisters, Sherry H. (Michael) Luna, Brenda (Dale) Samuelson, and his brother, Ricky L. (Gloria) Stout, and his nieces and nephews.
Billy spent the last two and a half years as a resident of Hillview Terrace Nursing Home and the family expresses deepest appreciation and gratitude to the staff there for their compassion and wonderful loving care. The family also expresses their appreciation to all those connected to Wiregrass Hospice for their compassion and assistance during his final days. Many thanks to the Intensive Care Unit of Jackson Hospital who took excellent care of Billy immediately following his attack and to Dr. Thomas Rigsby, whose skills, knowledge, and kind compassion provided much comfort during some very difficult days.
Leak Memory handled funeral arrangements with a grave site service being held at the County Line Church of Christ Cemetery in Prattville, Alabama, on Thursday, March 20, at 3:00 p.m.. Billy has finally found peace and contentment at last.
