Stanley Mays Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sarah L. Carter's Funeral Home - Northside on Feb. 3, 2026.
Stanley Earl Mays was born on May 5, 1962, in Jacksonville, Florida, to the late Vivian Mays and Lester Earl Mays. A proud native of Jacksonville, Stanley was deeply rooted in his community and carried those values with him throughout his life.

Stanley was a graduate of Sandalwood High School, where he began developing the strong work ethic and determination that would define his life. Following graduation, he embarked on a long and dedicated career with United Parcel Service (UPS), where he faithfully served for 35 years. Through his commitment, reliability, and professionalism, Stanley earned the respect of colleagues and customers alike before retiring.

Never one to slow down, Stanley went on to fulfill his entrepreneurial dreams by opening a family-owned business, Amaysing Express and Home Delivery Services LLC. Through this successful courier service, he continued to serve others while setting an example of perseverance, independence, and excellence.

Stanley was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Vivian Mays and Lester Earl Mays, and his brothers, Keith Mays and Anthony Mays.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving daughters, Tahvia Mays and Alexia Mays; his cherished grandchildren, Myiah Brooks, Brandon Brooks, and Amora Ervin; his siblings, Robert Lee Upson, Lester Mays, Denise Smith, and Sharon Mays (Curtis Denson); along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.

Stanley Earl Mays will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to family, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the lasting impact he made on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of hard work, love, and service will live on through generations.
