Robert Dale Stout, 72 years of age, of Noel, Missouri passed away from this earth on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, in his home. He was born on November 28, 1953, in Borger, Texas to the late Joyce Aagesen and John Robert "JR" Stout. He spent the early years of his life growing up in Dumas, Texas until at the age of 12, when he moved to Anderson, Missouri with his family in 1965. He began his adult life running a Tom's peanut route and eventually made his first career at the McDonald County Press as a photographer and Advertising Sign designer. He spent the later years of his life at Tyson Foods in Noel, Missouri as a Quality Assurance Technician. He also spent time doing things for the community and served as a north ward alderman for Noel, Missouri.

Robert was preceded in death by his biological mother Joyce Horton; his father John Robert "JR" Stout and Step Mother Mary Jo Stout; his son Neal Allen Stout; a brother Kerry Wayne Stout; a sister Linda Wilson; and a brother Joe Platter.

Robert was the proudest father and grandfather. His hobbies and interests included playing games particularly Solitaire on his laptop, cooking, gardening, photography, bowling and caring for his pet fish. He was a big fan of old shows, movies, and music with "Change the world" by Eric Clapton being his favorite song. His love of photography was always a big part of who he was; he had a talent of finding the perfect camera angle and would wait until the slightest overcast to capture the most perfect little moment in time. His gift was in being able to always see the right picture, and that's how he saw the good in everyone. We should all try to be more like that. Robert also loved hosting cook outs, and enjoyed waking his children up with the smell of his famous breakfast cooking in the kitchen. He was also very knowledgeable about birds and was a botany enthusiast. He loved to point out birds, trees, and plants and educate us on what they were called. He really enjoyed pranking everyone or playfully surprising us by startling us or throwing snapper poppers unexpectedly. Robert was always dedicated in life to his family and to his careers. The lessons he taught us all will live on in our hearts; to always live life and love others no matter what obstacles life throws your way. He always chose to work hard, to play hard, and to enjoy the little moments in life. He was an amazing man and friend to so many people. His big heart, humor, kindness, and smile will be missed immensely.

Memorial Service for Robert will be held at 2:00 pm on October 1, 2026 at the New Bethel Church in Anderson, MO. Arrangements are under the personal care and direction of the Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri.
