In Loving Memory of Lincoln Stanley

This GoFundMe was created by a close friend of the Stanley family to help support them during this time of profound loss. We are raising funds in the loving memory of Lincoln Stanley, who was sadly taken from all who loved him.

Please read below a heartfelt message from Lincoln's family:

We’re heartbroken to share that our beloved Lincoln M. Stanley passed away on Sunday, April 6th, after a courageous battle with Stage 4 stomach cancer. He was diagnosed in January 2025, and while we didn’t get nearly enough time with him, his impact on our lives and community was beyond measure.

Lincoln was a beacon of light — a man of quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering faith. He spent over two decades shaping young minds at Worcester Preparatory School and nearly ten years caring for others at Berlin Nursing Home. But his kindness didn’t end when he left work. Whether at Food Lion, a yard sale, or a local thrift shop, Lincoln had a way of touching lives with his singing, prayers, and encouraging words. He made people feel truly seen and loved.

As we grieve this enormous loss, we’re also facing unexpected financial challenges. Without life insurance and with the sudden loss of Lincoln’s income, we are struggling to cover mounting medical bills and funeral expenses.

If Lincoln ever made you smile, inspired you, or simply made your day a little brighter — and you feel moved to do so — please consider donating and/or sharing. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ease the burden and honors Lincoln’s beautiful legacy of love, faith, and generosity.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and for holding us in your hearts during this incredibly difficult time.

You are also invited to leave condolences, memories, or messages of support here. Your words will serve as a lasting comfort to our family as we navigate this loss.

To those who have already reached out with kindness, we thank you from the depths of our hearts. Your kindness has been a source of strength and hope during our darkest days.

With love and gratitude,

The Stanley Family
