Stanley Cleave Perry, 74, born in Cordele, Georgia, February 21, 1949, passed away peacefully into the arms our Lord, Jesus Christ, December 9, 2023.
He was a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, Florida, graduating from Paxon High School class of 1968 as a well-respected football player known as “The Bull” and went on to graduate from Jones College.
Stanley fought like a true warrior with great courage, bravery and strength to the very end. He was a man of wisdom, a man of his word and a true character of a man. He was a Vietnam Veteran, serving in the U. S. Army, receiving many recognitions during his service. He retired from the U. S. Postal Service after 34 years and Baker Distributing.
He is preceded in death by his son, David Wayne Perry.
Stanley leaves behind his beloved wife of 51 years, Barbara Perry, daughters Stacey Phillips and Andria Hill, four grandchildren, Amber Boyer, Jordan Bammer, Payton Bammer and Savannah Hill, one great-grandchild, Braydon Boyer, nephews (as his sons) Don Crenshaw (Dena), Brett Crenshaw and Seth Crenshaw, special friends, Timmy Stephens and Randy Lewis, along with many friends he encountered during his journey of life.
Stanley loved the outdoors; he was an expert fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed playing his guitar, harmonica and was an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan. He loved racing, old cars, music and most of all he loved his family. He will be dearly missed by all.
Memorial Service to be officiated by Pastor Rodney Norman.

Uncle Stanley, although we grew apart as I got older I will never forget the things you taught me when I was younger such as how important school was, fishing and most of all playing basketball behind the house on 9th street with you and Stacey my cousin. Man I miss those days!! You will be missed and you will always be in my prayers!! Love you man!! Christopher Bullard

I was so glad I got to meet him. It was only once but I felt I knew him from the stories Stacey would tell at times. He will truly be missed by all. God bless you all in this time of sadness.

We really missed you this Christmas 🎄 singing Falalalalala and Feliz Navidad all the time. You were always the one that opened there presents last. There will always be a empty chair and spirit at Christmas for you. It’s really hard to believe your gone. You’re voice your funny ways. You always made people laugh. I’m so glad you asked God for forgiveness 🙏 and excepted Jesus as your personal savior. I know where you are right now and you wouldn’t come back for nothing. I know you’re enjoying Heaven right now with David . I wish I could be there. Maybe I’ll be there with you two by the grace of God. Until we meet again I love you and miss you so much.
