Stanley Antonio Childress

Love you grandpa Stan forever and always

My wife and I offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I worked with Stan at Ecorse Community High School. He was a man of great integrity and professionalism.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. L

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

With Deepest Sympathy
From: Ben F. Dobbs & Family

Sending love from the Byron Clan in Atlanta- Dennis Sr, Dennis JR, Lamont, Rashad, Simone! We love the Childress family!

Sending my deepest sympathy to the family of Stan Childress...I am so sorry to hear the sad news of his passing and I am thinking about all of you. I worked not with but along side Stan during some of my many years first on the radio and then on TV news in Detroit. He was always so friendly and respectful to everyone...he was a really good reporter. Most importantly though I am sure he was so wonderful to his family and I am sure this is such an incredible loss. Sending thoughts to all of you...knowing heart warming memories will stay with all of you...always.

Childress Family, we share in your loss but also, rejoice in the hope of salvation that yields promise of eternal life. Stan will be missed as his presence was so illuminating in our lives. May the Lord grace you with His peace and comfort now and in the days to come.
Love, Alice Jackson & Jackson Family

My prayers and condolences to the Childress family. I went to R.J. Bunche school with Lorae, Andre and Pierre and grew up on 18th st in Ecorse. I remember Stan as the Childress's big brother that they looked up to. Their mother, Mrs Childress, actually pierced my ears when I was about 9 or 10 years old. God bless all of you and hold on to your memories of Stan the Man and he will always be with you.

I am sorry to hear about Stanley's passing. We graduated from Oakland University together in 1972. He was an outstanding person. I had not seen Stanley in many years but I am sure he was a shining light for every endeavor he wanted to pursue. Larry Floyd ( Your Classmate)

To Su Juan Malone family & Brandin Bell family, Darryl & I just wanted to say how very sorry we are for your loss. We love you guys and know how difficult it is to lose a family member. You are all in our thoughts and will continue to be in our prayers during this time. May Jehovah comfort you and give you peace. Sending hugs. ❤
Darryl & Laura Turnbull (Brandin's in-laws)

To the Childress family,
Although I only knew Stan in the community of Fox Lake for a couple of years, I recognized the minute I met him, that he was special. He stepped right in and up as a wise, gentle leader of a lake community with a long, rich history. He most certainly understood the importance of education and visionary ideas. His presence and guidance at Fox Lake, will be greatly missed, but his life legacies will carry on. Blessings.

We are so sorry for your lost. Thinking of you all

To My Detroit Family. I send Hugs and Prayers of Comfort and Love. Praying for You Family. Love Cousin Sheila From Philadelphia

Damali, Niambi Although we did not know your father in the flesh. We have known him through you two, for you posess so many attributes that we have witnessed. May God fill your hearts with wonderful memories and peace, Vinel and Verland

To my handsome cousin Stanley as my mom use to call him Rest In Power. Thank you for your beautiful spirit, amazing energy and awesome connection with you showed me with your mom, brothers, sisters and family.❤

Stan was always more like big brother #2 than a cousin to me. I could tell him my aspirations for what I wanted to be when I grew up. And he loved that I loved to write poetry. He and my big cousin Paulette always inspired me in the arts. Paulette as an artist, Stanley with his big brain. And please don't leave out my modeling cousin Denise; Sheliah the construction major and Jr the Road Dog! But Stan led the way. He taught us all to be proud and protective of our talents. That's why Wesley was able to come and bless Alabama with his talents for building and painting. Stan the Man I thank you! Rest well big cuzzin! See you on the other side! Peace!

May God be with you

To the best brother a man could ever have I'm going to miss you very. Much stan boy we had a ball going back and forth to Cleveland Ohio maybe a million times it

One of the best of memories is sitting at the table talking with CLRJames while his assistant cooked spaghetti dinner in the kitchen; at the Pan-African Institute for Self Reliance - or otherwise known as Gary and Berlinda's house, lol...Walnut St.
'Mouse'

Had to share our comrade Stan Childress RIH...stories of revolutionary discourse on struggle...tempers flying...loud arguments...but Stan's calming and reassuring presence meant we all would survive another night of Marxism...Pan Africanism...Cultural Nationalism...MLK...Malcolm X...RNA...Black Panthers...NOI....heated and raw arguments being up all night trying to make a point!!!

Kofi...Kimathi...Imani...Sekou...Malcolm 2X...Chui.. Nbuzi Mtu...Stan was the only one who didn't feel any need to change his name...but hey that was our comrade!!! We all lived together in the Pan African Institute for Self Reliance back during the Movement. ...
Stan had my back as the only female in that house!!!!

I was contacted by an Author who wanted to tell our story...he couldn't track us down because we all had changed our names except Stan...

Stan held his own...
Our struggle continues
love akosua

Such an honor to have know this man I called Mr. Childress.

I love you Uncle Stan! You were my hero. You believed in all of us more than we believed in ourselves. You were not from this Earth! I know you’re watching us now as we prepare. You’re making moves up there. I feel it. Love your niece, Michelley

Rest in peace....our comrade in struggle...
love

Stan was a wonderful brother. Were it not for all our precious memories, yours would be an inconsolable loss. I'll miss you until we meet again, Stan the Man, my best friend and brother. ❤

I had the chance to live a whole year with Stan and his family to take care of Connor. He considered me as a family member right away. He always encouraged me and helped me to improve my English. He was such a model and an inspiring person. He will be missed but I'll never forget him. May God bless him and and his family.

Stan was a great man who I had the pleasure of knowing. We met through his daughter because we had become good friends and he was ready to take on his next adventure which was music. After meeting him for the first time we didn't have any long or drawn out conversation because it was a business meeting. But we ended up having a relationship that I never saw coming. I was constantly at his house hanging out with his family. I think he just got use to having me around. Then he himself started inviting me to family dinners and events they had planned. I can even remember a few times when he would here a noise in the house and go investigate the situation and say that's just Bird I'm going back to sleep. I asked him once why he didn't mind me around so much and always kept me close to all of them. By the end of the conversation I realized he saw me as a family member not just some guy that was hanging around. He also saw alot of good things in me that most wouldn't. Not even me. I admired the man for a lot of reasons but most of all I admired him for being able to see all of someone. Who they were who they are and who they had the potential to be. Thanks for seeing me. Rest up Stan the man you will truly be missed. Until we meet again. Bird

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband/dad/grandfather. Dr. Stanley Childress was a consummate educator and faithful friend. He made a difference in the lives of students, especially at DSA. While his spirit lives on as he joins the ancestors, he leaves this earth with cherished memories and life’s lessons evidenced in his words and deeds. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am so very grateful to have had the honor to call him colleague and friend. He will be sorely missed by the countless lives he touched. God bless. Rest in Power!

Stan the man, when the road was undulating, Stan kept a level head. My condolences to the family. May God comfort all of you.

For you dear brotheryour light will forever glow in my heart. Love, sister Denise

What my sister Paulette said. Rest in Heaven dear brother until I join you in Paradise. Love sister, Denise ❤

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Mr. Childress was such a kind and strong soul. I truly enjoyed knowing him and working with him at DSA. He will truly be missed. May he rest eternally with our Lord❤

In loving memory of a wonderful person. "Stan the Man" . We will love you and miss you always. May God bless and comfort the Family.

I was head of the RHS parent organization when Stan interviewed for the assistant principal position.
I didn’t understand why anyone would give up being a tv personality to work with crazy teenagers.
I didn’t know that Stan was like the “Blues “ brothers. On a mission from god.
Like all missions you must report back.
Mission accomplished Stanley!!

Remembering your Smile & Wonderful Personality! Charm & Sense of Humor! Love you Cousin Stan!

May God Bless The Family Praying for you.

I went to Oakland University with Stanley. We knew he was special back then. He was so studious and sincere, kind, and had a friendly smile for everyone. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. But, if ever something was true, then his spirit survives on; in that he has simply moved to another part of the circle of life; and whenever we think of him, it creates an echo in time. He lived a full life and will not be forgotten.

Dearest Niambi, as I read the obituary I smiled and imagined how incredible Mr. Stanley was! This passage in particular made me think of you: “ Despite his peaceful demeanor and kindheartedness, Stan didn’t take no stuff.” That is who you are and a part of his legacy you will carry with you. May your heart continue to be comforted by loving memories of him! God bless you and your family.

May Allah be pleased with your soul, Black soldier for, FREEDOM, Justice and Equality. RiP

He hired me in Ecorse as his Assistant in 2007. Class act & advocate for the underdog kids. Great guy that I will miss on this temporary earth. You fought the fight! May God bless his spirit.

God You Called Home A Beautiful Angel. Stan was one of a kind. He had a Huge Heart. Our Condolences to the Family. 1Luvv from LIMA.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
