James Mack Stanley

Stanley, James Mack, entered into eternal rest on Friday, October 30, 2026.

James was the beloved husband for 50 years of Cindi Stanley (Harkless), a devoted father of Tyler (Anna) Stanley and the late Austin Stanley, and a loving Pops of his granddaughter, Lyla Stanley. He was a cherished brother of Tim (Melinda) Stanley and a beloved uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Austin, whom he now joins in eternal rest, and his parents, Bob and Dink (Charlene) Stanley of Ardmore, Oklahoma. This reunion with his son brings comfort to those who loved them both.

James dedicated 45 years of his professional career as an Account Executive with Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, where he built lasting relationships and friendships along the way.

He found great joy in summertime, boating with his family, and, more recently, enjoying cruises. Above all, James treasured time spent with his family and the many friends who brought so much happiness to his life. His love for those around him, his appreciation for life's simple pleasures, and the memories he created with family and friends will forever be cherished.

James will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
