Clinton Stanley “Stan” Rountree

June 19, 1953 — March 12, 2023

Clinton Stanley “Stan” Rountree, age 69, of Burnet went home to our Heavenly Father. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Sunday morning, March 12 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Stan was born in Austin on June 19, 1953 to Cecil Samuel Rountree and Muriel Christine Davis Rountree. His parents lived in Burnet and drove to Austin for his birth.

Stan earned his bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology with a Minor in Agriculture from Southwest Texas State University in 1977. Stan had many accomplishments. He established Stan’s Fried Chicken and Catfish in Kennedy, Texas and later he established and operated Grumpy’s Eating House in Burnet. He became a Certified Financial Planner; a realtor for Hanszen Real Estate with a Broker’s license; was instrumental in the development of the Burnet Hamilton Creek Riverwalk Park project; a custom home builder in the Hill Country; and 10 years with LCRA in the Boat Dock Water Safety Program. Stan was very gifted and could repair and fix anything.

Stan loved playing tennis and Pickleball. He found much joy in helping others learn to play a game he loved. He was musically inclined and often played his guitar. In addition to hunting and fishing with the kids, he loved the outdoors and travel and rode his motorcycles all over the country, including to Alaska. He often stated Valdez, Alaska was the most beautiful place he had ever visited.

Stan was a very loving and caring person and took every opportunity to lift others up. He volunteered for several years as a three-year old Sunday School Teacher; served as a volunteer for the Hill Country Children’s Advocacy Center; coached Little and Junior League Baseball; and assisted to promote Leadership for Cub Scouts Pack 289.

His favorite role in life was being a grandfather “Papa” and did so with a heart full of love. Stan was very dedicated to his faith and ready to meet Jesus and our Heavenly Father. His favorite bible verse is John 4:24. He was a loving and devoted husband and father and will be missed so much more than words can describe.

He met and married Brandi Lee Hinton on September 12,1981 in Austin. It was love at first sight and recently celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary. Their time was well spent visiting and hiking National Parks and enjoying time with family and friends.

Stan is survived by his wife, Brandi Lee Rountree. “Papa” is also survived by his son Benjamin Keith and wife Kelly Marie of Burnet; son Christopher Sean Rountree and wife Andrea Lynn of Alford, Texas; sister, Rosemary and husband Nathan Gutowsky of East Bernard; brother Robert and wife Diane Rountree of Austin, his adored 16-month-old grandson Clinton Samuel Rountree (named after him) of Burnet; and older beloved grandchildren Evelynn Faith, Cooper Samuel, and Johnny Jackson Rountree of Alford; and his nieces and nephews and their children.

“God uses each person to accomplish some part of His purpose.” Dr. James Dobson Stan’s family welcomes friends to attend his graveside service Friday at 2:00PM at Lakeland Hill Memorial Cemetery on Park Road 4.
