Stan has always been good to me and my family. He was a good person and I will always remember him. I wish his family well.

Nancy, Peter; Called & Christopher: We are sorry for your loss today. Stan, led by the Holy Spirit, influenced the lives of thousands of people for the Lord. He was a quiet person; always there when you needed someone. May God grant you the strength to face the days ahead. This entire community was blessed to have him serving here.

Dear Nancy, Peter, Chris & Callie,
Words are of no use to you now I know, but hopefully knowing that so many people around you are thinking, praying and available to you it will help you to know that love and comfort are there for you wherever you may turn and need or want it. You know how much I thought of Stan, how much he was regarded. Before every football game for so many years we all stood and prayed for the players and cheerleaders. It had a direct link to heaven I believe. I am sure his strong faith is such a comfort to you all now. Please call me for anything, and I mean that. I am all over Mt. Pleasant and can be there for you at anytime. All my love and prayers go out to you.
Love,
Jenlu Williams and Family (224-0851)

Thoughts and prayers are being lifted for all of Stanley's family. His work on earth was complete and his place in heaven was prepared. We will surely miss his earthly presence but anticipate a great reunion on that beautiful shore!

I met Stan when I moved to Hanahan in 1964. He was one of the most humble and kind people I've ever known. He taught us all how to follow Christ on this earth. He richly blessed us all. My prayers are with his family.

Stan was in my home room in high school. Stan and my Dad car pooled to the Navy Yard together for years. Stan shared the Gospel with me many, many times .....he told me about Jesus. I will be with Stan in Glory one day. Stan LIVED the Gospel. I am so thankful for his life!

Dear Nancy and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. It saddens me deeply, Stan provided great support for me and my husband Mack who's journey and struggles with esophageal and then Glio Sarcoma cancers ended four years ago. We both loved Stan and I had high hopes that Stan would concur the evil beast of cancer. God be with you. Polly Herrin

Nancy, Peter, Christopher and Callie. What a blessing Stan was to all who knew him...even some he did not know. He was a wonderful minister and a man who had a heart bigger than any other. May you find comfort in the fact that he is celebrating with Jesus and he will always be looking out for you from above. My thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort are with you especially now in your grief. Love you all!

Nancy, Peter, Christopher and Callie,
Connie and I want to share with you all how much we loved Stan. Through each of battles with cancer Stan was with us both. His compassion, support and encouragement will never be forgotten. Connie asked Stan for his posting in the "Family Ministry News" while she was going through her treatment. Stan printed them and brought them to Connie. We still read them. I would like to quote what Stan wrote Feb 14, 2006 "My specific prayer request is that I will be a faithful servant of our Lord throughtout this experience. I hope that I can be a testimony to someone. I pray that my family will trust in the Lord for strenght and character during these days. I pray that if it is possible within God's will, that I might be cancer free following this experience. Thank you again for your love and support. It is a gift from God to hear it when we come to crossroads in ours lives. Hallelujah! What a Savior!"
Stan was a faithful servant, friend, encourager and he was a testimony to many.
I pray God will wrap his loving arms about you all and comfort each.

Nancy and family, I would like to offer my condolences in Stan's passing. I always admired him and considered him as a good friend. Wished I would have done a better job of keeping up with him over the years. I often think back on a time when Stan, Joey , and myself all piled in Joey's MGB to go surf fishing a Breach Inlet. It had to be a funny sight, us three in that little tiny car with the fishing poles hanging out the back. Stan will be missed for the impact that he made in so many peoples lives. He certainly has many rewards awaiting him Heaven.

I have so many memories of Stan from First Baptist as a student. If ever a person found his calling in life, it was Stan. He made such a difference in so many lives. I will remember his humor and the connection he could make with children so easily.

Stan was always the nicest guy. we went to school together.I always had a lot of respect for him.You and your family will be in our prayers. He walked the walk!

Stan was a fellow high school classmate and neighbor. Our mothers were best friends. My Mom still thinks very high of her. Remember giving both of us a ride home from school during the rain one time. We were both kind of quiet back in high school. Heaven's gate opens wide to those who love. Stan is just ministering on the other side.

To Nancy and family.

Linda Bob & Bobby Chilton. (I love you Nancy )

My memories of the 80's almost all center arount 1st Baptist Mt. Pleasant and Stan Stone...the Tuesday afternoon Bible studies, the Sunday evening fellowships, the retreats to Bonnie Doone..all of it helped make me who I am today. I love you Stan...Rest in Peace my brother

To Nancy and Family-Stan will be missed dearly. I will never forget his compassion and his willingness to be there for you with Christian guidance. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful gentleman with us.Cindy Rials O'Toole

Stan was truly one of the kindest, most caring human beings I have ever known. He spent his entire life serving God, and lived as a model of a Christian family man. He will be sorely missed by those he left behind, but we know he is glorying in the presence of his Lord!

To Nancy and family, Stan was a wonderful minister. His passion for the Word and doing good for others blessed many. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Nancy, Peter, Christopher, and Callie,
My prayers and thoughts are with you. May God continue to comfort you, strengthen you, and grant you peace in the days to come. Nancy, you and Stan were such an incredible part of my life while you served in Myrtle Beach. I can think of no other minister or person for that matter who has influenced me or challenged me to grow more in my faith than Stan. His passion and love for Christ as well as the Kingdom will always be an example to me.

To Nancy and Family, my deepest sympathies to you all. Stan will be greatly missed, but take comfort in the fact that he touched so many people and changed so many lives. He is with our Lord and his light will continue to shine on all of us.

Stan will be greatly missed by all. Stan used to be the youth Minister at First Baptist Mount Pleasant, Stan used to drive our Wando Cheerleading team (back in the early 80's) to some of the away games. I remember being so loud and having so much fun and Stan just went right along with us! Never judgmental just kind and sweet... What a blessing he was to all of us! I pray your family is comforted by the joy he brought others! Rosalind Banks(Mount Pleasant, SC)

To Nancy and Family-- our deepest prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time -- Stan was a wonderful person to so many people and radiated the love he had for them and for the Lord-- He will be deeply missed --

Stan was a large part of my life at First Baptist. He was also a great influence in my son Patrick's early years as a teen. He taught some great life lesssons that we will always remember. I cherish his life and memory. He was a gift of God to so many.

"Stan the Man" was a good spokesman for Jesus and shared his love for people of all ages. He was a joy to be with and had a great sense of fun and humor that will always be remembered. I am certain that Stan is now enjoying Jesus' loving presence and pray that his family feels God's presence with them also as Stan would want this for them.

My thoughts and prayers to the Stone family. Stan was such a sweet person that is the way I remember him in high school also. May God Bless and be with the family during this time and the days ahead.

Stan was a great youth minister here at Ocean View Baptist Church in Myrtle Beach. I remember his infectious laugh and sweet smile. He radiated the love he had for the Lord and all people. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Nancy, and your children at this sad time of loss. May the Healer of broken hearts be ever near you now and in the days to come. - Crystal, Danny, and Leigh Bonnell, Myrtle Beach, SC

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. Rev. Stone was a godly man with a big heart and we'll miss him.

I enjoyed ministering with Stan to students at the school. I appreciated his willingness to serve. I regularly recall advice he gave me about ministry. I remember his snoring on youth retreats. I remember most a man who loved God and loved people, right where they are. God gave me an opportunity to pray with Stan the afternoon before he died. Now he sees Him face to face.
