Stanley Stankiewicz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory Oxon Hill on Mar. 22, 2025.
Stanley Joseph Stankiewicz died on March 20th, 2025, after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years. He was 89 years old. He is survived by wife Mary, son Joseph, daughter-in-law Sandra, and three grandchildren: Joel, Isabel, and Timothy.
He was born on July 27, 1935, to Anna Rypsky and William Stankiewicz in Syracuse, NY. He grew up working in his father and uncle's garage and was an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He also was on the crew team.
After graduation, he moved to Washington, D.C., and began a career working for the Navy Department. Stan had many interests but especially enjoyed anything that had to do with water. As a member of the Potomac Boat Club, he and his buddy Roger Van deMeulebrocke won many medals racing canoes. He also enjoyed sailing.
Stan was always working around the house and completed many renovation projects. Even on vacation, he spent his time finishing the beach house.
Later in life he spent time volunteering with the Coast Guard Auxiliary and in the workshop at the College Park Aviation Museum. He was a devout Catholic and served as a Eucharistic minister. He is most remembered as a nice guy always willing to lend a hand.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 10:30 am at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 620. North Bestgate Road, Annapolis, MD 21401. Interment at Lakemont Memorial Gardens, Davidsonville, MD.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Stan's memory to the St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Mary's Annapolis, 109 Duke of Gloucester Street, Annapolis, MD 21401 or online HERE

Stan was the man who took a chance on me when I got out of the Navy. He mentored me and allowed me to succeed in a long career working for the Navy. I am deeply grateful for his leadership and service to our country.
