Stanley Cardea Posey

Stanley Cardea Posey was born in Montgomery, Alabama on July 1, 1964, to Joe L. Posey and the late Lois Brinson Posey. From the moment he was born, his inner joy seemed to shine. Quiet, unassuming and caring with a good attitude and likeable personality, Stanley was easy to love.

Stanley attended St. Aloysius Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio, Bellingrath Middle School and Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, AL.

Stanley joined the United States Marine Corps on February 1, 1984, where he served faithfully and was discharged honorably.

He was an avid University of Alabama “Roll Tide” football fan – a passion he shared with his dad and friends.

Stanley was preceded in death by his mother and paternal and maternal grandparents.

To cherish his life and memories, he leaves his father, Joe L. Posey (Cleveland, Ohio); loving sisters, Leslie Posey Thompson (William Thompson) of Arlington, Viriginia; Shadaka R. Bell (David) of Cleveland, Ohio; nephew, Joshua Cardea Posey; uncles, Roy E. Wilson and William Brinson (Montgomery, AL) and Daniel Brinson, Sr. (Barbara Brinson), Cleveland Ohio; aunts, Barbara Crawford (Cleveland, Ohio) and Elizabeth Burress (New Hope, New Jersey); Cora Brinson and Ida Brinson (Montgomery, AL); great-niece, Kailani Johnson (Montgomery, AL); devoted sister-in-love Patrice Walker (Terry), Houston, Texas).
