Stanley L. Needham

Beloved father, grandfather, and friend

Stanley Needham, age 89, of Fairfield, Ohio, passed away peacefully on August 6th, 2025, surrounded by family who loved and cared for him deeply.

Born on May 5th, 1936, in Maud, Ohio, to Clarence and Rhoda Needham, Stanley lived a life marked by quiet strength, resilience, and a deep commitment to those he loved. A hardworking and humble man, he led by example - showing that integrity, patience, and love are among life's greatest values.

He was a devoted father to Nick (Sue) Needham, Regina (Jim) Duggins, Kim Needham, and Shawn (Krista) Needham, and a proud grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather to many. He was also a brother to many siblings.

Stanley's presence was a steady anchor in the lives of those who knew him. Though soft-spoken, his dry wit, quiet wisdom, and steady support made a lasting impact. He faced his final challenges with grace, surrounded by love.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
