William (Bill) Steven Stuth
June 28, 1956- April 25, 2026
William (Bill) Steven Stuth, devoted husband, father, Papa, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 25, 2026, surrounded by those who loved him most. He was 69.
Bill was born in Snoqualmie WA on June 28, 1956. Bill built a life defined by a resolute work ethic, deep loyalty, and a genuine desire to help others. He dedicated his lifelong career to the septic industry, where he became known not only for his expertise, but for his absolute commitment to doing a quality job every single time. People trusted him because he took pride in his work, stood by his word, and treated every task—big or small—with the same level of care.
Outside of work, Bill embraced the passions that brought him joy and connection. He loved riding and racing vintage motocross, finding freedom in the rumble of the engine and the thrill of the track. The camaraderie of fellow bikers meant as much to him as the ride itself—he cherished the friendships, the shared stories, and the sense of belonging that came with being part of that community.
He also found deep satisfaction in landscaping and maintaining his yard, often with a shovel in the soil and a quiet determination that mirrored the spirit his mother showed when he was growing up. Whether he was manicuring his grass or shaping a flower bed, those moments were a reflection of the pride he took in his home and the care he poured into everything he touched.
Bill also enjoyed RVing, finding comfort and adventure in the open road, the changing scenery, and the simple pleasure of traveling with the people he loved.
In the last 4 years, during his illness with colon cancer, he developed a passionate love of cigars. Slowly, he became knowledgeable about the cigar community and enjoyed nothing better than a shared smoke with a buddy. He was in his element with a red bull Italian soda in one hand and a Henry Clay cigar in the other. He shared this passion with old friends and made several new friends in the Lit Lounge, his favorite cigar bar.
Above all, Bill cherished his family. He loved his wife and children deeply and found great joy in providing them with a good life—one built on partnership, the steady love he showed, and the quiet devotion that guided everything he did. He was happiest when spoiling his grandchildren, offering them his sense of adventure, his love of sweet treats, and the raunchy humor that never failed to make them laugh.
Bill is survived by his wife, Denise Stuth; his children, Michael (Sydney) Stuth, Nicholas Stuth, Jaynie Stuth-Wetherbee, and Riley (Dallas) Sessions; sister Terry Stuth-Tooley; his eight grandchildren—Paige (George) Downing, Lexi Jo, Walter, Levi, Wyatt, Bradley, Waylon, and Joey; and one great-granddaughter, Maggie Jo. He was preceded in death by his parents Marjorie Summers and William Stuth Sr.
There will be a memorial to honor Bill on June 13 from 1-4pm at 1220 Chepoda Rd, Cle Elum. Friends and family are invited to gather to honor his life and share memories.
Bill’s presence will be deeply missed and forever cherished, but the legacy he leaves—rooted in hard work, loyalty, kindness, and the joy he found in family, friendship, and the open road—will live on in every life he touched.
