Jimmy Lee Stoutt

Jimmy Lee Stoutt, age 81, went to be with the Lord upon a peaceful passing at home on Monday, April 20th. He was a native of Blount County, and graduated from Everett High School; then served in the U.S. Army, in Korea. He was a career mechanic with Alcoa Aluminum Company, and enjoyed productive activities in his spare time, such as gardening, cutting fire wood, working on the family's cars, and renovating and making repairs on rental properties he owned. He was a committed Christian who sought to faithfully serve the Lord by loving and serving others. His early church years were spent at Clover Hill Presbyterian Church, and as an adult, he joined Dotson Memorial Baptist Church, where he and his wife raised their daughters. He was preceded in death by his parents, H.N. and Lillie Mae (Abbott) Stoutt; and by siblings Newton Stoutt, Mary Catherine Haney, and George Stoutt of Maryville, and Bobby Stoutt of Oak Ridge, TN. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Marilyn Davenport Stoutt; and by two daughters, Connie Stoutt Weaver of Asheboro, NC, and her husband, Joe; and Tonya Stoutt-Brown of Friendsville and her husband, David. He is also survived by granddaughters Annie Brown of Friendsville and Allison Brown Felty and husband Austin of Alcoa; and by grandsons Nathan Weaver of Clemson, SC; Thomas Weaver of Greensboro, NC; and Henry Weaver of Charlotte, NC.
