Stanton Gallear Obituary
November 19, 1976 - March 17, 2025
Stanton A. Gallear II passed away March 17th in Kelso, WA. Stan was 48 years old. He was proud to be a "Kelso Kid."
He completed a Sign Language Interpreter program but found concrete construction to be a rewarding path. Stan was happy riding his skateboard and creating artwork. He will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle soul, and the twinkle in his eye. One of Stan's superpowers was knowing when a loved one, or even a stranger needed a hug or a warm smile.
He beamed with pride when it came to his son, Stanton Gallear III, and daughter Peyton Gallear. He is also survived by his brothers Michael Gallear (Rosie Padron), Guy Gallear JR, (Ramona Mclean), mother of his children Heidi Gallear, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephew and countless friends.
He is preceded in his passing by grandparents, Lois and Stanton Gallear. His mother, Barbara Ribera and father Guy Gallear SR.
There will be a private service for family and friends.

Stan the Man, you are truly missed. Every time we would see you, you´d give us the biggest hugs. I would always look for you whenever I was outside. You were always positive, no matter the situation and had the best smile. We will always love you. My condolences to family and friends

Truly my deepest condolences to family and friends. His nickname from and probably many others was"Stan the Man". My heart hurts every time I look next door. We always hugged each other when we´d see each other. I told him all the time that I loved him and he´d say the same. Stan will be highly missed and loved forever by me and many others. Hugs always Stan.
