Stan was born and raised near Goessel, Kansas. He married Myrna Funk and they had two children.
Stan served in PAX service with the Mennonite Church in Greece. He attended Kansas State University and resided in Manhattan, Kansas for nearly half a century. He taught construction, shop, and agricultural courses at Manhattan High School. Stan was a chain man for the college football games. He also volunteered with Mennonite Central Committee Central States, and constructed many fine woodworking projects for sale at the MCC Sale.
He and Myrna, along with several other couples, founded the Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship, now the Manhattan Mennonite Church, and were active in the church in many capacities. Most recently Stan served as a youth fellowship sponsor and was well-loved by the teens in the church. He spent countless volunteer hours working on church maintenance.
Stan was known throughout the Manhattan Community for his teaching and service. He had a big voice, a hearty laugh, and a dark bushy beard. Some jokingly called him "that big Russian". Stan was an avid and entertaining storyteller, and seemed to have unlimited energy. Not only did he tell stories, he inspired them, and many Manhattanites, Mennonites, and others, have a "Stan story".
We are thankful for the life of Stan Bartel, his faith and his work.
