Jerrod Stanford Obituary

Jerrod Ray Stanford LUBBOCK-Jerrod Ray Stanford of Round Rock, TX, passed away on Sept. 16, 2014, at the age of 33. He was born on Jan. 29, 1981, in Lubbock, TX, where he resided until his graduation from Monterey High School in 1999. After high school he moved to Austin, TX, to attend college and graduated from Texas State University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in psychology. After graduation he settled in his current field as a lead operating consultant for Boone consulting, Inc. Jerrod was praised for his hard work ethic and enthusiasm for knowledge to always be the best he could be. He had a fearless love for life-his family and his amazing friends. He was fortunate to have a large family and extended family of friends too large to list and give proper recognition. Jerrod was preceded in death by his beloved cousin, Dusty Don Stanford; uncles, Jaime Chiolo, Tommy Stanford; maternal grandparents, Betty and Ray Allen; and his paternal grandmother, Elsie Jane Baker. Jerrod's memory will always be held in the heart of his mother and stepfather, Rita and John Chiolo; his father, Stan Stanford; brother, Jack Stanford; numerous uncles, aunts, other relatives and friends. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, at Resthaven Funeral Home with a celebration of life scheduled for Sept. 25, 2014, at 1 p.m. in Resthaven Funeral Home's Abbey Chapel. Condolences and online guestbook can be found at www.resthavenfuneralhome.com.

My heart goes out to all who had the chance to know Jerrod. He is and will always be in our hearts and we pray that those that are dear and near find peace in keeping his memory alive. I will always remember those days back in school with him and our crew riding around in the back of his truck, meet ups at the park before school, and us all just being young and innocent. His genuine soul will be forever missed and his laugh forever engraved in mine. Many continued prayers for his family and all of his friends.

Jerrod, I Love you Brother and no words can express the shock and pain of losing you as my friend so early in our lives. It truly leaves an enormous hole in my heart and in the lives of all the friends who love you a great deal. We will remember you always my brother and friend. May God keep you close and show you all the good things we always imagined would happen when we go back home. Watch us over us now if you can.

Good bye friend. The world has stopped for us all when you were taken away from us. Now we are left with so many questions of WHY. May God shine his light and love for someone who did so many for others and never asked for anything in return. Our hearts weigh so heavy with grief but not as much as your family. Your family and you will be in all our deepest and heartfelt prayers. Good bye my friend. I can only say, "To be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord." You leaving all of us has made our Texas skies cry over your passing. I will truly miss you and keep the many memories of your big heart in all our hearts. You will never be forgotten for you shined so bright. It will be the hardest thing to let you go... Rest In Peace friend. God be with you and your family in such a dark and terrible hour.

I am sending prayers and my deepest sympathies for your tragic loss.Jerrod was a good man and a great friend and he will always be remembered by me and my daughter Layla. I never knew that he studied psychology and it sheds a new light on all of his little philosophies on life. We were friends and neighbors for years at Metropolis and I learned a lot from him despite our age difference. He will forever be a part of my heart and soul. God bless..
