Herman Michael "Pete" Stout, 72, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, passed away on November 7, 2026. He was born on July 24, 1954, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Pete was a successful business owner of Stout Construction and an accomplished builder who took great pride in his work. He was known for his hard work, dedication, and the ability to build things that would stand the test of time.

Outside of work, Pete enjoyed the simple things in life that meant the most. He loved fishing and taking beach trips with family and friends, making memories that will be treasured for years to come. He was a generous and caring man who was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His willingness to help others and his big heart were among the qualities that made him so special.

Above all, Pete loved his family. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love that will continue to live on through those closest to him.

He was preceded in death by his mother Sylvia, his brother, LeBron, and his sister, Sharon.

He is survived by his loving wife, Susan; his daughter, Whitney (Travis) Tate; his grandsons, Landon Westbrook and Colton Tate; his great-granddaughter, Kennedy Westbrook; and his father, Herman Stout.

Pete will be deeply missed by his family and friends. His legacy is not only in the work he built, but in the lives he touched, the kindness he showed, and the love he shared.

He may be gone from our sight, but he will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.

There will be no service at this time.
