The funeral service for Mr. David Lee Stanley will be 11 a.m., Friday, August 30,
at Riverwood Family Funeral Service, with a graveside gathering at the Bales-Stanley Cemetery,
in Bogue Chitto. Visitation is from 5-9 p.m., Thursday evening at Riverwood.
David Lee Stanley, born on August 17th, 1952 to the late Pete and Virginia Stanley, stepped
into eternity at 9:15 pm on August 26th, 2019. Moments before he passed away, he hummed
a short song, worshiping Jesus with his last few breaths. He then waited until his family
was present before he stepped forever into the presence of the Lord.
Now, we are sure that David is keeping his promise to find a good fishing hole and wait
until he is reunited with those who remain here. They are Gloria, his bride of 46 years; Chris, Jeff,
and Dusty, his three sons; Will, Sarah, Austin, and Blake, his grandkids; Don, Danny, and Darlene, his siblings;
Amy, Linda, and Darlene his daughters-in-law (whom he considered his own daughters) and
Gary and Pandora Bales, his brother and sister in law (whom he considered simply brother and sister).
There are more who knew him as Daddy D and loved him like another Dad, but this space
could never hold all of their names. You know who you are, and you know how much he loved you.
