"Just an incredible, incredible human being with an incredible sense of humor, an outlook, a passion for law enforcement and the epitome of selfless service, that's who he was," said Chief Mike Tamez, adding that it was the department's first line-of-duty death.
According to Robstown Police Chief Mike Tamez, this marks the department's first line-of-duty death.
"He truly cared about everybody, cared about this community."
A procession was held in his honor following his death, and his daughter, Alyssa, released a statement.
"My dad, Lt. Stout, was the greatest role model we could have ever asked for," she stated. "He lived his life with strength, unwavering kindness, and a heart that always put others first. We will spend our lives striving to be at least half the person he was. His legacy will live on forever, not only in our hearts, but in the small, proud community of Robstown, Texas, where he made a lasting impact through his love, service, and generosity. We are grateful he was able to witness the love and support he had from his community, the surrounding communities, family, and friends in his time before he passed. We will miss him greatly.”
Tamez called on the community to support Stout's family and encouraged the public to share their memories of the lieutenant.
"If you really want to honor Lieutenant Stout, get out there and work harder to stop criminals because that's what the man would have wanted," he said.
