Stanley Breshears Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by H.T. May & Sons Funeral Home on Feb. 1, 2026.
Stanley Darrell Breshears, age 74, of New Franklin, Missouri, passed away on February 1, 2026.

Stanley was preceded in death by his parents, Clifton and Ina Mae Breshears; his brothers, Leon Breshears and Billy Breshears; his sisters, Patsy Poppinga and Debbie Franklin; and his beloved grandson, Levi.

He is survived by his children: Ronnie Breshears (Erica), David Breshears (Amanda), Nikki Eaton (Tyler), Krystal Breshears, and Bobbi Breshears.

He is also survived by his grandchildren: Blake, Kinzey, and Alex Breshears; Shelby and Jennifer Breshears; Gavin, Peyton, and Ty Eaton; Kaydi Webster; and Silas and Elara Gaudreau, along with many great-grandchildren who brought him immense joy.

Stanley truly didn't know a stranger. He had a warm heart, a friendly smile, and an easy way about him that made people feel welcome wherever he went.

Because of that, he had many friends, and each one knew him as kind, genuine, and always willing to talk or lend a hand.

His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit lives on through the countless lives he touched.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor Stanley's memory, where family and friends can gather to share stories, laughter, and love.

Stanley's legacy is one of family, friendship, and love - a life well lived and fondly remembered.
