FLW Outdoors, EverStart Series mourns loss of Connie Stakely

The staff at FLW Outdoors, the anglers and the entire EverStart Series family are deeply saddened by the loss of Connie Stakely, who passed away Tuesday after a protracted battle with cancer. Connie, along with her husband Jerry, ran the EverStart Series as the tour’s original tournament directors since its inception in 1998.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jerry, Jeremy, Brianne and the entire Stakely family as well as their many friends.

With the news coming on the eve of the EverStart Series Championship, FLW Outdoors President and CEO Charlie Hoover has dedicated this week’s tournament to Connie.
