Stanley B. Brabbs, age 85, of Grand Blanc, Michigan passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, February 21, 2026. Stan is survived by his cherished wife of more than 62 years, Sue (Morgan) Brabbs, sons Jerry (Angela) Brabbs of Richardson, Texas and Rick (Lisa) Brabbs of Kennesaw, Georgia, and daughter Cathy (Robert) Bixby of Flint, Michigan, seven grandchildren Julie (Skip) Cummings and Stephanie Brabbs of Texas, Amy (Mark) Bolam and Erica (Tyler) Dearduff of Michigan, Kylie and Makenna Brabbs of Georgia, and Logan Brabbs of Washington, seven great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Stan was born on February 11, 1941, in Flint, Michigan to Clifford and Inez Brabbs. After attending Grand Blanc High School, Stan worked at General Motors-Flint Truck and Bus for thirty years. He loved being the associate picked to drive the new vehicles off the assembly line. After retiring, Stan worked for another twenty years for the Al Serra Motor Group. He enjoyed opening all the dealerships and making sure they were stocked with donuts, fruit, and the popcorn was made for the incoming customers. Stan was known for his work ethic, loyalty, and kindness to everyone he met. In his free time, Stan loved camping with his beloved wife, traveling to visit family, cruising with friends, playing card games, and puttering around his home.

Stan was preceded in death by his parents, first wife Linda (Pangborn) Brabbs in 1962, brother John and sister-in-law Laura Brabbs, brother Donald Brabbs, sister Janet Elder, and his in-laws Robert and Hazel Morgan.
