Kevin Stump

Kevin Stump, age 45, of Austin, Arkansas, passed away Saturday, November 14, 2015, in his childhood home in rural Lockwood, Missouri, surrounded by his family.

He lost his long battle with cancer, but actually won as he is at home with his Lord and Savior.

Kevin and his twin sister, Kathy, were born November 10, 1970, at Fort Scott, Kansas, to Eugene and Connie (Trent) Stump. He was preceded in death by Kathy; his paternal grandparents, Lee and Faye Stump; and his maternal grandmother, Marie Trent.

After graduating from Lockwood High School in 1989, Kevin went on to graduate from SMSU, earning an agronomy degree in 1994. He worked at Tindle Farm Supply/ADM for 13 years.

Kevin then worked for Oakley Fertilizer for eight years in Beebe, Arkansas, where he became an avid Razorbacks fan.

He then achieved his dream job, working for a family owned company, Delta Grow Seed, Inc., located in England, Arkansas. Kevin loved the people he worked with and they became his second family, standing by him throughout his fight with cancer.

Survivors include the mother of his children, Donette Spann; his son, Justin and daughter, Katelyn; parents, Eugene and Connie Stump; sister, Tammy (Jonie) Engle; and brother, Darren (Melinda) Stump. Also surviving are his nieces and nephews he loved very much: Jason Engle, Cassie Gomez, Cody Wright, Jackson Engle, Hunter, Landon, Mackenzie and Avery Stump; and great-nieces and great-nephews: Addie, Bentley and Lanie Engle, Connor and Carter Gomez.

The family received friends Tuesday, November 17th, at Daniel Funeral Home.

Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 18th at First Baptist Church of Lamar. Burial was held in Memory Gardens Cemetery.

Memorial contributions are suggested to a scholarship fund for Kevins children in care of Connie Stump.
