The last of my Uncles on my dads side. I am going to truely miss that big smile Unc. This really hurt my heart because I always knew you but we were getting so much better with checking up with each other. Time is filled with swift transitions that we will never be prepared for but it’s God’s will. I pray that heaven is all you imagined it to be and more. Love you Uncle Don.
You have gone the last mile of the way Baby brother and now it’s your time to take your place in your Heavenly home. They are waiting on you to say Welcome Home.
I’m sorry for your family loss, you and your family have my deepest sympathy.
I’ve always enjoyed being around Don and I’ll certainly miss him and will forever cherish his legacy.
RIP my dear brother.

My Condolences to the Family during this most difficult time🙏🏾
Condolences to the Stanley family. Don was in our friendship group at another friend’s house. He was always respectful and kind to me even when I was sharing my fun spirit attitude. We are truly going to miss him. The Stanley family are in our prayers.
Cousin Don was not in my generation, but he didn’t pick and choose how he loved and supported his family. I can still remember him showing up with opened arms and acceptance for my husband and I when we started our business 7 years ago. We will sincerely miss his presence in the days to come!
With heartfelt condolences, May the love of God surround you and your family and bring you all peace & strength
To The Stanley Family!
Please accept my deepest sympathy because I am truly sadden by the passing of Don. Even though it was an extreme shock for me, we all know that God makes no mistakes. Don was such a wonderfully intellegent, pleasant, friendly yet calm person. He was very giving and was always willing to help anyone when the need arise. I looked forward to his fellowship at church and Benedict games. He was present at practically all football and basketball games tailgating and socializing with colleagues and friends. I also looked forward to seeing him walk into the church doors dressed impeccably well. I will miss that kind, calm and friendly appearance and voice. But I am celebrating his life because he has truly gained his wings! My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family during this most difficult time! Love and Blessings, Mary
To the Stanley family I extend my deepest sympathy! Don and I walked in the afternoon at Caughman Road Park. As we walk, we would discuss religion, politics, sports, and any relevant issue. Sometimes the discussion could be heated, but it never broke our friendship! Don was adamant concerning golfing! He tried to educate me on the history and the art of golfing! He even gave me a set of clubs and golfing accessories. He love to talk about Benedict football and basketball. Don was passionate, kind, intellectual, and one of the best friend that anyone could’ve had! My prayer is that one day in the future your joy will return. I can only imagine the pain that that you an enduring at this time! If there’s anything that I can do now or in the future, please do not hesitate to ask!
