THE AMES TRIBUNE, Ames, Story County, Iowa, Friday, March 2, 2007.
May 10, 1949-Feb. 27, 2007
Dr. Timothy "Tim" Scott Stahly, 57, of Ames, died Tuesday, Feb. 27, at University Hospitals and Clinic in Iowa City. Funeral services will be at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 4, at Collegiate Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Larry Mitchell officiating. Burial will be in Ames Municipal Cemetery.
Tim Stahly was born May 10, 1949, at Huron, S.D., the son of Vernon and Frances (Miner) Stahly. He married Sharon Kay Chenoweth Aug. 13, 1966, in Mitchell, S.D. She preceded Tim in death July 9, 2004. He attended rural school in South Dakota and was the first person to finish his senior year of high school while a freshman at South Dakota State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1970 and a master's degree in 1972. He earned his Ph.D. in swine nutrition at the University of Nebraska in 1975. He taught at the University of Kentucky for 16 years before joining the faculty at Iowa State University in 1991. He was a researcher and consultant in swine nutrition.
His innovative research has greatly benefited the swine industry. His research focused on the effects of genetics, health status and environmental conditions on the pig's requirements for energy, amino acids and B-complex vitamins. The practice of adjusting diets to environmental conditions, health status and genetic background of pigs is accepted worldwide and much of this traces back to his discoveries. Many of the growth models available in the swine industry today use information developed by his research. He was in high demand as a speaker at technical conferences and symposia in the United States and abroad and had given papers at 85 conferences in 10 years. In 1983, he received a patent for improving the metabolic stability and survival of neonatal pigs.
He was active in the ASAS, serving as Midwestern Section president, was a member of the ASA board of directors, served on the editorial board of the "Journal of Animal Science" and was a member of Collegiate Presbyterian Church of Ames.
He enjoyed his grandchildren and finding humor in everyday life. He had an enjoyment for horses and hosting Kentucky Derby parties at his home in Ames. An avid pheasant hunter, he loved going home to the ranch in South Dakota.
He is survived by one daughter, Lisa Stahly, of Fairfax, Calif.; two sons, Charles Stahly, of Lexington, Ky., and Ben Stahly, of Ames; two grandchildren, Dylan, who lived with Tim, and Althea; one sister, Louise Bauman, of Huron, S.D.; and three brothers, Michael Stahly, of Cavour, S.D., Steven Stahly, of Naples, Fla., and Daniel Stahly, of Sioux Falls, S.D.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Sharon.
Visitation will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at Bacon Funeral Home in Nevada. A prayer service will be at 8:30 p.m. following visitation.
Memorials may be made to the ALS Society and Collegiate Presbyterian Church.
Bacon Funeral Home in Nevada is in charge of arrangements.
