Stanley Minton

05/13/1955 - 11/05/2023

Stanley Minton, born on May 13, 1955, left this world on November 5, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, whose impact on the lives he touched will forever be remembered.

Stanley is survived by his loving wife Judy Minton, sons Brent (Brittany) Minton, Brandon (Lena) Minton, Chris (Lauren) Sickels, and Kelly Clark. His legacy lives on through his cherished grandchildren Joe, Jayden, Josie, Jacie, Addie, Sadie, Shelbie, Cami, Delaney, Hailey, Gabrielle, and Jacob. He also leaves behind siblings Oakie (Chester), Lucy, Roberta (Norman), Jerri (Paul), Dorthy (Mike), Robert, Tommy, and Mike Sickels, and Kathy McCubbins.

Stanley's life was marked by service and adventure. He proudly served in the United States Navy, and for many years, he navigated the open roads as an over-the-road trucker. He was a devoted fan of IU basketball.

Those who knew Stanley well would recognize him by the ever-present "Diet Dew" in hand. Yet, his greatest passion was his family, and his devotion to his grandchildren was immeasurable. He found joy in making others happy, a goal that defined his life.

Stanley was preceded in death by his parents Milford and Kizzie Minton, his late wife Cheryl Minton, brothers Otis Minton and Bobby Minton, sister Mamie Farnsley, and son Mark Clark. While his physical presence may be absent, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him.

In addition to his immediate family, Stanley leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family, all of whom will miss his warmth, humor, and unwavering kindness.

A celebration of Stanley's life will be held at a later date, allowing family and friends to gather and honor the memory of a man who brought so much joy to those around him. In this time of grief, let us remember the laughter, the love, and the indelible mark Stanley Minton left on the world. May he rest in peace, forever in our hearts.
