Stanley J. Barnes, our loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home on May 1, 2015 while surrounded by his loving family.

Stanley attended Marsh Valley High School and LDS Business College.
He worked for Phillips Petroleum then was with Associated Food Stores for thirty years until his retirement in 1987.
He was a decorated veteran of World War II, earning several medals, including the Purple Heart.
