William "Sonny" Montgomery Stout, IV

Sonny is survived by his “schweetheart,” of 47 years, Marie Zuppardo Stout; sons, William Stout V (Larissa) and Michael Stout; grandchildren, William Stout VI, Hudson Stout, and Michael Stout, Jr.; sister, Barbara St. Germain; brother, Ricky Stout; brother-in-law to Bill Burns, Vito Zuppardo, Yvonne Zuppardo, Terry St. Germain and Lori Stout; uncle to many nieces and nephews; longtime friend of Guy and Fred.

Sonny is preceded in death by his parents the late William Stout III and Joycelyn Leidenheimer.

Being out on the water catching fish was his favorite place.

He enjoyed being on the boat with his friends and teaching his grandsons all about the water. Sonny was a gifted mechanic and could fix anything from an 18-wheeler to rebuilding his home after Hurricane Katrina.

The family would like to thank the nurses on the 8th floor at Ochsner Health Center and Dr. Carter Davis, his team, and the nurses at Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center. And a special thank you to Father Bryan Howard.

Relatives and friends are invited to a gathering on Friday, July 9, 2021, at ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 701 W. VIRTUE STREET, in Chalmette, from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. A memorial mass will be held in his memory at 1:00 PM. He will be laid to rest in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens.
