Stacy Wayne Alfred, 57, passed away on October 14, 2026. Born on October 26, 1968, Stacy lived with a steady devotion to the people he loved and a deep appreciation for the simple, lasting joys of life.
Stacy lived life to the fullest. Whether he was riding his motorcycle, spending a day fishing, or simply enjoying time with family, he knew how to recognize what made life special. He loved the freedom of the open road, the quiet anticipation of a fishing line in the water, and most of all the laughter and comfort that came from being surrounded by those he held close. His generous spirit, kind heart, and loyal presence were felt in everyday moments—never for show, always sincere.
Family was at the center of everything Stacy did. He cherished time together in any form, believing it never needed to be a holiday or special occasion to matter. The best moments were often the simplest: sharing stories, trading jokes, laughing until it hurt, and building memories that would last. His compassion and selfless care were evident in the way he showed up, again and again, with a hardworking steadiness and a warmth that made others feel at home.
Stacy was preceded in death by his father, Eldon Alfred Sr; his mother, Delores Alfred; his brother, Michael Alfred; his sister, Molly Mansel; and his daughter-in-law, Tiffany Varnado.
He is survived by his wife, Cheryl McGinnis; his children, Katrina Paul (Justin Paul), Justin Alfred, Kaitlyn Pugh, Brittany Madeley, and Tanner Alfred; his step-children, Misty Webb, Chris Benington, and Bryan Benington; and his siblings, Patricia Harris, Bubba Alfred (Sandy Alfred), Brad Alfred (Donna Alfred), and Jeanne Turner (Kenneth Turner). He is also survived by 27 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Pallbearers will be Justin Alfred, Justin Paul, Brad Alfred, Casey Turner, Billy Munsinger, Tim Ortner, Jason Sullivan, and Dakota Webster. Honorary pallbearer will be Colton Ortner.
Though his time here was shorter than anyone imagined, Stacy’s love remains—carried forward in every mile traveled, every fishing line cast, every family gathering, and every story told. He was beloved and deeply cherished, and his memory will continue to live on through the family he so devotedly treasured.
