Went to high school with Stan and have many fond memories of his smile and sense of humor. He was quite inspirational even back then. My very best to his family...

I went to high school with Stan at Northland, and we all found him to be an amazing leader so we elected him the school's first class president. I will never forget him. Rest in Peace dear friend. Bob Hendrix

We were saddened to learn on this past Sunday of Dr. Toler's passing. We are so thankful for having had the opportunity to hear him speak at a recent Work and Witness Retreat in Columbus, Ohio. He seemed to have a huge passions for missions. We wish the family hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. With Deepest Sympathy

Good morning,

I just heard that Stan went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 18. Stan was a great friend of mine and was greatly used of God. I am so sad that Stan is gone, but the same time I rejoice that he is with his Lord, because physically he had been struggling with cancer.

I first met Stan when I visited John Maxwell's church in Lancaster Ohio and Stan was the bus pastor with John Maxwell, and the church doubled in attendance and reach many people to Christ. Next, I preach for Stan Toler in a church south of Lawrenceville Ohio. It was a church running about 1000, the first of his four mega-churches that he pastor. Second, Stan began a church in Florida that also became a mega church. Third, Stan pastor a huge church in Nashville Tennessee, and fourth he came to Oklahoma City to pastor another great church. I don't know of any other pastor who has pastor four different mega-churches in his lifetime. Stan Toler was uniquely gifted of God and use greatly by God.

I am sorry I will not be able to attend the funeral. I pray that God would continue to use his influence around the world.

Stan and I did several books together. These were published by the Nazarene publishing house and other publishers. It was a privilege to work with him.

We also conducted many conferences together in many cities. Too many of them to begin to list. He was a great pastor, a great communicator, but most of all a great Christian gentleman.

I praise God for what he accomplished in life. Stan's life and ministry reflects Revelation 14:13, Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says a spirit they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work, or their good deeds will follow them. Three things about Stan Toler, first of all he died in the Lord, second he is blessed because of all of his hard work of serving Jesus Christ in third is good deeds will follow him.

I was saddened to hear about Stan's passing. I have great memories of our time together at Circleville Bible College (Ohio Christian University). He was a true disciple and witness for Christ. I look forward to seeing him because of the grace of God in both our lives.
May God comfort his wife and family with the hope he preached and lived out in his life here. The best is yet to come.

Pastor Stan was one of my favorite people and pastors of all time. He truly cared and could deliver a message like no other. He helped officiate in mine and my late husband's wedding, and will always hold a special place in my heart. Love and prayers to all of the family.
