Daymon Stotts

Daymon Gee Stotts, a beloved figure in the West Texas community, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, in Lubbock, at the age of 87. Born on August 3, 1938, in Greenville, Texas, Daymon's journey began in Lubbock where he attended Lubbock High School. At the young age of 16, he made the determined choice to leave school and step into the world of work, partnering with his twin brother, Raymon, to run a bread route for Baldridge Bakery.

Throughout his life, Daymon displayed a remarkable work ethic and a vibrant personality, embodying the phrase "never met a stranger." His passion for serving the community was evident in his career as he owned several restaurants in the West Texas area, fostering connections and friendships. The establishments he founded—Daymon's Restaurant in Post, Daymon's Caprock Cafe in Dickens, Daymon's Cafe in Crosbyton, and Pancake House in Lubbock (2000-2020)—were not only successful ventures but also gathering places where people came together to enjoy meals and camaraderie. When he retired, he handed the reins over to his children.

Daymon is survived by his children, Kristi Mayo and her husband Ron, Jeff Stotts, and Dayna Schuknecht and her husband David, all of Lubbock. He is also survived by his brother, Gerald Stotts and his wife Doris from Lone Oak, Texas, along with 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Cleo Stotts; wife, Peggy Stotts; son, Greg Stotts; and siblings, Ann Smith, Raymon Stotts, Sue Wallace, Larry Stotts, and Freddy Stotts. 

Memorial services will be at 2:00 pm, Monday, November 3, 2025, at Combest Family Memorial Chapel.
