Mark Anthony Stout, 58, of Wilmington, NC passed away on April 4, 2020. He was preceded in death by his father Gene Ralph Stout. Mark was born in Owensboro, KY. He graduated in 1980 from Henderson County High School in Henderson, KY. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1981, where he proudly served as a mechanic until 1985. Upon his discharge, Mark decided to make Wilmington his home. He married, and became the father of two beautiful girls, that became his life.
Mark was employed as a mechanic for New Hanover County Schools until his retirement in 2015. He loved cars. Whether he was working on them, reading about them, or watching drag races, cars were his passion.
Mark is survived by his daughters, Catherine Gray Stout and Hannah Marie Stout, both of Wilmington, NC; his mother, Joyce Shadrick, of Henderson, KY; brother Jeff Stout, of Hampton, VA; sisters Caron Stout and Joni Stout of Henderson, KY; nephews Kyle, Chance, and Barcie; and the love of his life and best friend, Deb Stout.
Mark's wishes were to be cremated. Due to current circumstances, the family will be saying their final goodbyes privately.
