Lyle Scott Stoughtenger

Lyle “Scott” Stoughtenger, 61, of Jessup, Maryland, passed away on February 24, 2026.

Born on June 15, 1964, in New York, he was the beloved son of the late Lyle Robert Stoughtenger and his loving mother, Carol Mae Stoughtenger (née Manuel).

Scott was the devoted husband of Lisa Carole Stoughtenger, with whom he shared nearly 34 wonderful years of marriage. He was a loving father of Ashley Carole Stoughtenger and son-in-law Kurt, and Lyle Matthew Stoughtenger and daughter-in-law Christine. He was the cherished “Dad Dad” to his grandsons, Wyatt and Weston, and a proud granddad to three beloved granddogs. He was a dear brother to Cheri Phillips and her husband Mike; He is also survived by his aunt, his mother-in-law, two brothers-in-law, and several nieces.

Scott worked as a diesel mechanic for over 40 years. He took great pride in his work and was known for his strong work ethic, skillful hands, and willingness to help anyone in need, never asking for anything in return.

Scott had a jovial spirit and was truly the family “agitator”, always joking and always making people laugh. He loved football, especially cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and had once played the game himself. He later coached his son and also coached baseball for the Elkridge Bees, pouring his heart into supporting his children and their teams.

He was a NASCAR fan, Scott collected die-cast NASCAR cars and enjoyed watching the races. In earlier years, he treasured playing pool weekly with his father before his father’s passing, a tradition that meant the world to him. He loved all kinds of music and rarely passed up the chance to listen to his favorites.

Family meant everything to Scott. He enjoyed gathering for dinners and simply spending time together. He was happiest when surrounded by those he loved. His grandchildren lovingly called him “Dad Dad.” Always busy, he had a knack for finding old or broken items and restoring them. A natural tinkerer, he took pride in rebuilding and giving things new life. He also enjoyed building model kits and carefully putting them together piece by piece.

Scott loved to grill and enjoyed all kinds of food. He would often joke that he believed in the “see food and eat it” diet, and he always enjoyed his margaritas.

He took great pride in keeping his lawn neat and tidy and could often be seen riding his lawnmower, maintaining his yard with care.

An animal lover at heart, he adored dogs, especially his granddogs.

In quieter moments, he could be found watching classic television shows and black-and-white movies, including Gunsmoke, Perry Mason, The Rifleman, and The Andy Griffith Show on MeTV.

Scott will be remembered for his humor, his love of family, his hardworking hands, and the joy he brought to those around him. His memory will live on in the laughter he inspired and the love he shared so generously. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
