Charles Roy Stander
February 22, 2023
Charles Roy Stander, 83, passed away peacefully to heaven on Sunday, February 19, 2023. Chuck had an infectious smile that brightened everyone’s day. Born in Chapman, Nebraska, Chuck married his high school sweetheart Barbara Jean Sinnett and moved to Pensacola, Florida. He worked as a Chemical Engineer for Monsanto. They raised three children, Julie Maddox, Lynda Boyle, and Jeff Stander, and have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Chuck was an avid gardener and loved to work and supervise in his garden. He was an emeritus member of the Escambia County Master Gardeners, and a member of several local garden clubs. Chuck always had an ongoing project and was a master at making a comprehensive “Things to Do” list.
He was caring, supportive, and unselfish in his interactions with everyone he was around, making sure to express his appreciation for others. He was always willing to discuss, advise, and debate the pros and cons with his friends and family. He believed in doing the right thing, even when it was hard, and his honesty and integrity were an inspiration to all who knew him.
Chuck will always be remembered for his infectious laughter and love for life. He had a kind heart and a gentle spirit that touched the lives of everyone he met. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace Chuck, and know that you are loved.
The family will be receiving guests during a Celebration of Life at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North on Saturday, March 18th from 2:00-4:00 pm.
