Vicki, Josh, and Kelly,
I was saddened when I heard about Bro. Stan, because I know he will be greatly missed by so many whose lives he touched. But as believers we are comforted and rejoice in knowing that he no longer suffers physically and will forever be with our Lord Jesus.
Bro. Stan was a wonderful, man of God. As a college student and young believer he had a profound and lasting impact on my life through his involvement with the BCM at UWF while he pastored at Hillcrest. I will never forget him and look forward to seeing him again some day. Thank you for sharing him with so many. I am praying for you and your family during these days.

God certainly used Stan to help a young couple understand what it means to follow Christ wholeheartedly. We will always hold the time that your family was at Hillcrest as very dear and have many sweet memories. Take comfort in knowing what a blessing and encouragement he was to so many.

Stan was Interim Pastor at our church, and we were always moved and inspired by his sermons. He was a humble man, very sincere, and it seemed that every sermon came straight from his heart. We miss his "chasing rabbits" and will always remember how attentive people were to his message when he was preaching. We'd love to have been able to hear just one more of his sermons. We offer our condolences to all of you; he loved and spoke of his family often. Thank you for sharing him with so many people.

Stan was, by far, the most humble man of God I have ever had the privilege of knowing. There is no doubt that he lived his life for the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Stan knew what it meant to be the hands and feet of Christ. I thank God for his years of service to the people of Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties.
