JIM STANLEY
Jim Stanley, 73, formally of Chesapeake, West "By GOD: Virginia," peacefully departed this life on Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018, at Palmetto Health Tuomey.
Jim was born on Feb. 11, 1945, in Eskdale, West Virginia, to the late Edward Stanley and Elizabeth Hatfield. He was a proud Vietnam veteran who served his country with honor and valor in the United States Air Force. Jim, aka "Pop," was a strong man, a man you could depend on. He was a man you could rely on whether you needed a friend and a cold beer after a rough day or simply a fishing buddy. His love and dedication to his family and friends was undeniable, unwavering and true.
His memory will be forever treasured by his siblings, Chris, Craig and Debbie Chambers, all of Pennsylvania; three beloved children, Sherry Seals of Austin, Texas, Jimmy Stanley Jr. (Jessica) of Sumter and Donna Olson of Charleston, West Virginia. Jim's heart belonged to his precious grandchildren, Erica, Alex, Tiffany, Dylan, Jesse, Hannah, Zachary and Brandon; and a great-grandson, Sebastian. He was lovingly known as "Uncle Jim" to Doug, Bill, JT, Tammy, Libby and so many others. He will forever be remembered by his lifelong, closest and dearest friend, Lee Smith.
Per Jim's wishes, a celebration of life cookout will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at 2395 Amy Lane, Sumter. Friends and family are welcome. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to the Disables American Veterans in honor of Jim Stanley.
