Frederick Michael Stanley

Fred left this mortal world on September 24, 2020 at the age of 67, living twice as long as anyone expected. Fred had a big personality and an even bigger heart. He could be ornery at times (like most redheads), but would give you the shirt off his back if you asked. Fred enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman in his younger days. He also quite enjoyed a cold beer, a good Western, and considered himself the best horseshoe player North Ashland has ever seen. He left behind his loving wife Patricia, son Curtis, daughter Sabrina, and grandson Rhett who was his pride & joy. He is also survived by sisters Susan Hannah (Vance) & Margie Faour (Fred), and brothers Robert Stanley, Sr. (Betty) & James Stanley (Susan) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends he considered family. He is preceded in death by parents Calvin & Viola, and by his beloved son Monty. A Memorial service will be held Thursday, Oct. 1 at 2pm at Nelsen Funeral Home, 412 S. Washington Hwy., Ashland, Va. 23005.
