Stan grew up in a loving home where kindness, devotion, service, and self sufficiency were both intrinsic and taught. When he was young, his family lived in West Virginia, North Carolina, and Virginia. At age eight, they finally settled down in the Winston-Salem, NC area. Stan spent the rest of his formative years there, running through the fields and woods and getting into good-natured adventures and mischief. Stan loved playing multiple sports including church basketball and softball. He also played high school football. He graduated from North Davidson High School. Afterwards, Stan served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the California Anaheim Mission. Upon returning, he obtained his Cosmetology License allowing him to serve his community for 50 years as a beloved hair stylist who truly loved and cared for his clients. Shortly after becoming a professional stylist, he met and married his sweetheart, Lorraine. They were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City, Utah temple on May 3, 1978.
