Stanley Jay Street, age 66, of Corydon, Iowa, passed away on October 9, 2025 at MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines surrounded by his family.
Stanley was born on November 19, 1958 in Corydon, Iowa to Charles and Virginia (Trembly) Street. He Graduated from Creston High School with the class of 1978.
On October 24, 1992 Stan married the love of his life, Karen Gale, in this union Stan brought along his two boys Travis and Brett and later came along their daughter Jessica (Jess). Together they loved and raised their children with pride. They celebrated nearly 33 years of marriage before his passing.
Throughout his whole life, Stan worked as a lineman, just as his father did, and they did it with pride. He had done power work in Washington, California, and villages in Alaska to name a few places. He also helped build the trolley you see riding around at Disneyland. He was a member of the I.B.E.W local 77.
In his free time, Stanley loved to go fishing, crabbing, and boating. He also loved to mow his lawn any time it needed done. He was a great story teller and had one ready at any moment. Stanley was a father/brother like figure to many people throughout the community. He could be described as kind, giving, and generous. He loved his family with his whole heart, especially the seven grandchildren and one great grandchild, anticipating more on the way.
Stanley is survived by his wife, Karen; children; Brett (Lindsay) Street and Jessica (James) Cain-Street; daughter-in-law, Starr Cure; grandchildren, Hannah, Keaton, Emmi, Kaden, Kelsi, Lydia, and Maddy; great grandchild, Luka, and twins on the way; siblings Steve, Becky, Patricia and Alan Drake; step-mother, Valda Bushman, close friends, Jason Monte, Jason Downing, Pat Roat, Rich Mihalcea and Gene Gute; his adopted family, Madison Derrer, Angelica Paul, Darby Warnock, and Tyler Anderson, along with many cousins, extended family and other friends who loved him dearly.
Stanley is preceded into death by his parents; son, Travis Street; close cousins, Calvin Street and Jerry Street.
Per Stanley's wishes, cremation has been accorded. Graveside services are planned for Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 1:00pm at the Cambria Cemetery with a luncheon to follow at that Cambria Church.
