Obituary: Stuart C. Merillat, age 83, of Elk Rapids passed away peacefully, , 18, 2016 at Cherry Suites Assisted Living. Stu was born 11, 1932 in Traverse City to Floyd and Elizabeth (Bessie Ballentine) Merillat.

Stu graduated from Elk Rapids high School in 1949. He served in the U.S. Army Security Agency from 1952 to 1955. He was stationed in Stuttgart, Germany and was honorably discharged with the rank of Sgt. E-5. While serving oversees, Stu regularly sent money home as his contribution towards a partnership in Merillat Orchards with his brother Walt. Beginning with peaches, the successful orchard operation expanded to include Northern Spy apples and mostly cherries.

On 23, 1956, Stu married the love of his life, Carol B. Anderson in Alden, MI. Together they raised three children.
Besides the orchard business, Stu worked at the State Bank of Elk Rapids from 1948 to 1968. He ended his career there as a manager. He also served as Elk Rapids Branch Manager for Traverse City State Bank from 1968 to 1976. During that time, he attended the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin in 1968, and completed coursework in real estate law and for the American Institute of Banking. He was active in the community including 5 years as President of the Village of Elk Rapids (1971-76).

retirement, Stu spent the next 23 years in his second career as a partner with Strickland Realty. At one time, the business he oversaw with Lillian McLachlan included three offices throughout the area. He was also very active with the Elk Rapids Rotary Club where he had an annual variety show dedicated in his name for his outstanding service.

A humorist, a dog whisperer, a wordsmith and poet. He worked the New York Times crossword puzzle, with pen scribbling the air, until he solved both Down and Across. The woods and the cherry orchards seemed to be his favorite backdrop, conjuring memories of he farm as a child. Admired for the respect he showed others and the generosity he quietly gave. He was a skilled morel mushroom hunter, an Andy Griffith-type whistler through the trademark space between his teeth, a shy man who conquered Dale Carnegie, a cheddar cheese connoisseur and dedicated Detroit Tigers fan. He was a storyteller that could build a tale to be taller than most. He was a kind man, a witty man, a loving and humble man....loved back and missed every day.

Stu will be greatly missed by his wife of 60 years, Carol; Children: Cynthia (Said Zagzoug) Merillat of Elk Rapids, Martin (Debra) Merillat of Virginia Beach, VA, and Pamela Merillat of Southfield; two grandchildren: Nicholas (Elizabeth) Merillat and Olivia Merillat; a brother, Carl (Dorothy) Merillat of Elk Rapids and a sister-in-law, Alzora Merillat.

Besides his parents, Stu was preceded in death by his sisters: Grace (Clayton) Allen, Caroline (Bion) Gassman, Myrtle (Caroll) Busey, Violet Judy Merillat, and Vivian (Frank) Walewski; brothers: Estle (Viviann), Donald (Harriett), Earl (Roberta), Walter, and Floyd Jr. (Marcia).
