Stanley Joseph Gniewek, age 70, (Ira, Michigan) saw the face of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, early Sunday morning, February 28, 2021. When he entered the Kingdom of Heaven, we believe he heard, “Well done, good and faithful servant, well done.” Matthew 25:23
Stan’s faith was number one in his life. He had constant love and support from his Rock Church Family (Fair Haven, Michigan). He loved serving the Lord in any way needed.
Stan was known by many names - Honey, Love of my Life, My world, Stashu, Dad, Papa, Grandpa, Big Bro, Uncle Henry, Uncle Nats and always with love, Stan the Man.
Stan was married 43 Incredibly blessed years to his wife, Terry (Beaudry) Gniewek. The Lord could not have chosen a more loving, kind, devoted, compassionate helpmate, husband and soulmate for Terry to do this earthly and eternal life with. He was not only an amazing husband, but a prominent father in the lives of his three sons, Blain-Brynne (Vickie) Gniewek (Macomb Township), Brad Gniewek (Ira Township), and Brant Gniewek (Chicago, Illinois – who passed into the arms of our heavenly Father in May 2013), he was also their hero, mentor, guide, friend, and teacher of his life experiences. Stan made his family a top priority too. He loved making memories when he could spend time with his grandchildren. He was extremely proud of all of them. Connor (The Big Guy) Gniewek, Madilyn (Princess) Gniewek, Emery (Pooh Baby) Gniewek, Mason (Racin’ Mason) Gniewek, Evelyn (Sweet Willow) Gniewek, Mykia (Mini Mykia) Gniewek, Eason (My Buddy) Gniewek, Layla (Little Lady) Gniewek, and Caralyn (Carebear) Gniewek.
Stan had a zest for life. He enjoyed Football (DA BEARS!), Baseball (Tigers and Cubs!) and Hockey (Red Wings). His most favorite hobby was camping and his love for Nascar was exhilarating and infectious! He had just returned from a camping trip to Florida where he saw his 3rd Daytona 500. He was also an avid gun enthusiast and NRA member.
Stan was the steadfast brother of the forever grateful Darlene (Arthur) Kreska (Warren) (Neep-Neep Big Brother) and the protective beloved brother/father figure to Tony (Kimberly) Gniewek (Davisburg). He felt blessed and happy when he could make memories at any time with whatever part of his family he was with.
