ThinBlueNews remembers Lieutenant Albert Stout Jr. of the Robstown Police Department in Texas on the first anniversary of his End of Watch, Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
The Officer Down Memorial Page records that Lieutenant Stout died from complications of a duty-related illness contracted while overseeing Robstown's Animal Control Office. This anniversary remembrance avoids graphic medical detail and centers his life, service and sacrifice.
Thirty-one years of service to Robstown
ODMP records 31 years of service with the Robstown Police Department and lists Stout's End of Watch as August 6, 2025. Its memorial also records that he was survived by his wife, three children and eight grandchildren.
KRIS 6 News reported at the time that Stout served in the department's Special Services Division. Robstown Police Chief Mike Tamez told the station that Stout's death was the department's first line-of-duty death.
A legacy of kindness and selfless service
In an archival community remembrance, Chief Tamez described Stout as a man who cared about people and his community, with a passion for law enforcement and an example of selfless service. The report also documented a procession held in his honor and the community's support for his family.
One year later, this memorial is offered with respect for Lieutenant Stout's family, loved ones, colleagues and the Robstown community. Anniversary remembrances cannot measure a life by a date alone; they can help keep a record of public service and sacrifice from fading.
On the first anniversary of his End of Watch, Lieutenant Albert Stout Jr. is remembered for 31 years of service and the lasting place he holds in the Robstown community.
