While at the University of Arizona Stille met his wife-to-be Dolores Engelking.[1] He and Dolores were married in 1958 and had two sons, John Robert and James Kenneth.[2]
Stille was killed at age 59 in the United Airlines Flight 232 crash at Sioux City, Iowa.[1]
In 2010 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for their work on palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.[3] The Stille reaction is a key part of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling chemistry, and it is widely regarded that John Stille was a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize before his untimely death.[4]
