With broken hearts, we share the passing of our son, Joshua Allen Stanley, age 37 on 9 October 2025 at 4:19 am at UT Health Tyler, Texas.

Joshua was born February 1,1988 to his biological mother Tamela Alldredge in Georgetown Texas. Joshua was a devoted father to Lillian and Liam, who meant the world to him. Joshua was saved at 9 years old at Tyler Road Baptist Church. Joshua worked in the Oil Field for most of his adult life. He was a strong, hardworking oil man, who always gave his best. He took pride in his work and loved working with his dad, George and friends, with a big ole dip of Cougar Long Cut in his lip.

When he wasn't working, he loved spending time with the kids, family outings, outdoors, fishing, hunting in the peace and freedom of nature. Joshua was loved by so many; his looks, laughter, loyalty and his Big Heart will never be forgotten.

Joshua was preceded in death by his biological mother Tamela Alldredge, grandparents Travis and Lois Quinn and niece Jaylee Rain Acula.

Left to cherish his memory, Joshua is survived by his parents George and Cynthia Stanley, sisters; Shenandoah (Kevin), Brandy (Luke), Bethann (Gabriel) and his brother Reese. He is also survived by his Grandma Barbara Summerlin and countless Uncles, Aunts, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. He also leaves behind Holly Stanley with whom they shared many years of life together.

Joshua, you will be forever in our hearts, Love You Forever, My baby you'll always be.

Funeral services for Joshua will be held at the Chapel of Rader Funeral Home of Henderson on Saturday, October 11 at 10 am, with the burial to follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. There will be a time of visitation one hour prior to the service.
