Born: Sunday, October 20,1974, Deceased: Sunday, February 12, 2023 He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Samuel Houston Stoudenmire, Jr and Vernice Helms Stoudenmire of Wilsonville, Alabama. Also his maternal grandparents, John H. Vick and Altie Chandler Vick of Sylacauga, Alabama and his cousin, Penny Stoudenmire Nason of Mobile, Alabama. He is survived by his loving wife Danni Bagwell Stoudenmire, his beloved sons; Samuel Houston and John Nicholas, his parents Wayne and Kathy Stoudenmire of Westover, Alabama, his sister Sharon Stoudenmire Foshee (Clete) and their daughter, Ashlyn of Chelsea, Alabama. Also, his parents-in-law, Floyd and Vera Bagwell of Northport, Alabama and his sister's-in-law, Andi (Broch) Dixon of Cottondale, Alabama and their children, Anna and Michael Corbett, and Kayden Dixon, and Brandi (Joel) Hatfield and their children, Harrison and Eva Caroline of Moundville, Alabama. Also survived by his aunts, uncles and cousins whom he loved very much. Heath loved Alabama football and all things related to the Star Wars movies and could even quote movie scenes verbatim. One of the last things he did was to watch the movies with his wife. He was a Journeyman Electrician and a member of the IBEW Local 136 in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from Chelsea High School in 1993 and attended electrician's school through the IBEW and in addition earned an associate's degree from Brown Mackie College in Birmingham, Alabama. Heath was a Christian by faith, and took part in believer's baptism between 1988 and 1989 by his pastor David Raley of New Life Church in Westover, Alabama. Heath had several sayings he was known for, some of which were: "Do or do not, there is no try!" (from the Star Wars movies), which he would often say to his two sons when they proclaimed they would "try" to do something. Another was, "I neither confirm nor deny", which his parents declared should be engraved on his headstone. He laughed at the thought and even said he wondered what people would think as they read that in years to come. Another saying he often used when someone told him they would do something for him was "promises, promises!” He loved coaching his two boys and their teammates in little league baseball when they were younger and served for a year on the board of the Woodstock Baseball Park in Woodstock, Al. He was a proud father of his two boys and spent time at his parent's house while he was recovering from an extended illness, looking at his children's photos and reminiscing of when they were small. He appeared to be going back in his memory and re-living their births and special moments of their childhood. He will be missed very much and though we are saddened at his passing, we are comforted to know we will see him again and be reunited with him in Heaven as we cling to the promises of our Lord in His Word. So long, for now, our dear Heath, until we meet again, and in keeping with your love of Star Wars, "may the FORCE be with you." Funeral service will be held Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at 11:00 am at McCalla Memorial Funeral Home. Rev. Stan Hughley and Rev. Jonathan Harris will officiate. Interment will follow at Wilsonville City Cemetery. Family will receive friends beginning at 9:30 am until service time on Wednesday.
