Stanley retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after serving a long career as a dedicated correctional officer. He was a strong man of faith, leading a life dedicated to Christ and guiding many to Lord along with him. His hobbies included working on his truck, spending time with his grandkids, and making others laugh with his witty jokes and playful sense of humor. Stanley never met a stranger, he never hesitated to befriend those he met and would go out of his way to serve others in any way possible. He will be deeply missed by many.
