Stanley Sheehan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 5, 2025.
Stanley Ray Sheehan UPPER Stan Sheehan, 70, of Santa Fe, TX passed away at home July 24, 2025. He was born in Warren, Ohio and grew up in Garrettsville, Ohio. After serving in the Army, he eventually settled in Santa Fe, TX. Stan graduated from The University of Houston and worked in the construction industry most of his career. His passions included archeology and history, especially aerial warfare and for years loved attending The Wings Over Houston airshow. He was a talented carpenter and loved woodworking and being the fixer-upper in the family. With his wicked sense of humor, he was a master of the pun and loved to make people laugh. His memory will be kept alive with laughter and love, dad jokes and stories whenever family and friends gather. He will be missed.

Stan is preceded in death by his father, Ray Sheehan and survived by his mother, Ruth Sheehan of Garrettsville. Stan is also survived by his wife of 42 years, Christine; his children, Corinne (Omar) Cantu and Benjamin (Josie) Sheehan; his grandchildren, Benjamin, Beckett and Brynn Cantu; his siblings, Ron (Helen Knepp) Sheehan, Lorri Sheehan (Christopher) Bonta, Jeff (Cindy) Sheehan, Cindy Reider and Tim (Lisa) Sheehan; numerous nieces and nephews, loving family members and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Hidden Palms, 3706 Avenue E 1/2, Santa Fe, TX on Friday, August 22,2025 from 6-8pm. There will be a memorial in Ohio at a later date.
