Stanley Langston Obituary
Greenfield, MA - Stanley Langston of Greenfield, a beloved father, brother, and friend, passed away on August 11, 2024, in Springfield, MA. He was 66 years old. Born and raised in Malden, Stanley attended Malden High School, where he excelled in both track and football. After high school, he served his country in the U.S. Army, a testament to his dedication and commitment.
Stanley was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life, most notably his love for cooking. He delighted in preparing delicious meals and sharing them with family and friends, creating lasting memories around the dinner table.
Later in life, Stanley embraced his spirituality and became one of Jehovah's Witnesses, where he found a large community of friends who deeply valued his kindness, warmth, and wisdom. His presence in their lives will be greatly missed.
Stanley is survived by his son, Jesse Nager of NY; his daughters, Amy Penland of Baldwin MA and Emma Langston of Orange MA. He also leaves behind his brothers Robert and Michael Langston, his half sister Beverly Langston, aunt Mildred Augustine and several grandchildren, all of whom he cherished dearly.
A memorial service to celebrate Stanley's life will be held on September 14, 2024, at 3:00 PM at the Kingdom Hall from Jehovah's Witnesses located at 290 Shelburne Rd., Greenfield, MA 01301.
Stanley will be remembered for his generous spirit, his love of family, and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

My deepest condolences to the Langston family, relatives, and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Stan for several years at the Center of Excellence for Psychosocial & Systemic Research. Our mission is to find ways to work inside & outside of systems of care to support people who are struggling, after major setbacks, to change their
lives for the better. No matter how difficult the day, Stan always had a ready smile & a word of encouragement to share. He was someone my team and I could always count on to give his best. He was a role model & helper with humility, honesty and the kind of humor that put people at ease. Stanley Langston will be sorely missed.

I went to school with Stanley from Kindergarten until graduation and will remember him for his great personality and fun-loving nature. He was always a gentleman and was happy to reconnect with him when I ordered some of his wonderful barbeque sauce. I'm so sorry he was taken so soon...may he rest in peace...
With respect, Susan Mullen

In high school we the all around nice guy. On the football field he was what would you don't hear many saying these days. Stanley was the ultimate teammate. Not looking for the praise or outward atonement of others but always there to back you up. One of the good ones taken to soon. Go with the grace of God my friend.
