Glen Edward Stanley, my uncle, passed away on April 24, 2026, at the age of 67 in Birmingham, Alabama. Glen was born in San Antonio, Texas, and grew up in an Air Force family, living in Pakistan and Alaska before settling in Homestead, Florida for his teenage years. He later joined the US Army through the buddy system with his best friend, dedicating his career to military communications until his retirement in Kansas City, Kansas. Glen spent his final years in Alabama to be near his lifelong friend, his sister, and her family.

Glen is preceded in death by his father John Carrington Stanley Junior, his mother Ruth Kelly Stanley, his older sibling Joseph S Stanley, and his nephew Kelly Wayne Goodale. He is survived by his last remaining older sibling Frances Arleen Goodale and her children Robin Williams and Eric Goodale and their families, his stepmother Mary Stanley, his younger siblings John and Tom Stanley and their children, his sons Christopher and Jason Stanley and their children, and his niece Elizabeth Stanley and her children.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses for Glen, including visitation, funeral service, and burial with Military Honors. Any support is greatly appreciated as we honor Glen's memory and help our family through this difficult time.
