Not sure what to say?

Years ago, you purchased a new home and with a new home came new landscaping Then a new dog, Jingles. Jingles decided she did not like your new lawn etc. and proceeded to tear it up. Shortly after we had the privilege of adopting Jingles. Thanks to your yard, she was a great companion to us for 13+ years. Thanks also for the support of McLane high school activities and all activities in Fresno unified school district. It was always a pleasure to work with you and Mark for my 20 years as...

As a result, we were able to adopt Jingles. She was a great companion to us for 13+ years. Thanks also for the support Of McLane activities and all activities in Fresno unified school District. It was always a pleasure to work with you and Mark for my 20 years as activities director at McLane.

I will always remember my high school ring man. Your smile, laughter and positivity will be greatly missed.

My sincere condolences go to the family. Deuteronomy 32:7 tells us to Remember the days of old. May special memories of moments spent together bring you comfort as you cope with his loss and may you receive much love and support.

My Coach for a season (Fresno High 1961); my inspiration for a lifetime. Thank you for the being such a positive influence in so many lives, including mine. You were the epitome of "Leadership by example" - a core principle that helped guide me through a long career in the U.S. Navy. Sincerest condolences to all the Stanley family.

Erla, Kyle, and Stanley Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Praying your hearts are filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Know you are loved & supported by your family & friends during this difficult time. If you need anything Erla, please call me. Love you!! Diane & Tim Myers

All who knew Coach Stanley knew one of the best men they could ever meet. Having played on his FHS 61 football team was one of the greatest things one could do. Knowing him in later life was a bonus. Darrell was forever giving to those around him. He loved life and he loved people. We loved him back. Thanks for everything coach. My prayers are with his family and friends.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Darrell. He was so gracious and helpful to me at a low point in my life. He was ultimately the reason I was able to become successful in the school products business. He invited me into his home and gave me advice and encouragement that stays with me yet today. I'm so grateful that he shared a part of his life with me. My deepest respects go out to the Stanley family.

Love you so much, Grandpa. You will be missed more than you know.
