Stephen John Stoutamire

February 3, 1954 - November 21, 2021

Stephen J. Stoutamire passed away in the early morning of November 21, 2021. It was a perfect day for his favorite sport, duck hunting. Steve was a true son of Tallahassee, having been born to one of our Pioneer families that migrated to North Florida in the early 1800’s. Steve grew up skiing on Lake Jackson and was an avid outdoorsman. He loved hunting, throwing his cast net, and enjoyed the serenity of nature. Like many in his family, he was a talented home builder and woodworker. You may be lucky enough to live in one of his sturdy homes sprinkled throughout Killearn, and, if you live in Tallahassee, your round windows are likely adorned with his artful trim. Steve took pride in all that he made and the family hopes he will be remembered through his quality work. He is survived by his children, Shannon, Thomas, Sara, and Stephanie, his partner, Betsy, and his sister, Carol (Fred). He will also be missed by his three grandchildren, Summer, Samantha and Stephen, and his son-in-law, Sam Pittman. Steve was preceded in death by his parents Lawrence & Eunice and his brothers, Lawrence Jr. and Ernest. May mallards fly before you and the mullet swim into your net. Rest in peace, Buddy. A memorial will be held at Sunset Boat Landing on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM for anyone who wishes to come. Susie Mozolic of Bevis Funeral Home is assisting the family with their arrangements. (www.bevisfh.com 850-385-2193)
