However, his greatest accomplishment was serving the Lord. Stanley was a devoted servant of God and was blessed to preach the Gospel for 23 years.

In his ministry, he pastored several churches including Cedar Baptist Church, Myrtlewood Baptist Church, Concord Baptist Church, and most recently Durwood Baptist Church.

He also served as the Sunday School Convention moderator for 13 years until he had to step down due to his illness in 2025.

Stanley was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and pastor. When he was not spending time with his family or church family, he enjoyed watching OU football and Christmas Hallmark movies because of their happy endings. Stanley leaves behind a legacy of love, service, laughter, and faithfulness. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and aII who knew him.
