In loving memory
Stanley Leo Bird passed away on January 4th, 2024, at the age of 81. He was born December 27th, 1942, in Salt Lake City, Utah to James and June Bird.
Stan is survived by his wife Patsy Bird with whom he shared an adventurous 60 years. Also survived by his beloved children Cyndy, Julee (Mike), and Chad (Sandi), his cherished grandchildren James (Melissa), Jessica (Austin), Thomas, Jocelyn (Cody), Kellie and Connor, his darling great-grandchildren Avery, Aaliyah, Trace, Leo, Wyatt and soon to arrive Weston. Stan is also survived by his brother Greg and his sister Salle, respectively.
A successful businessman of 50 years, he lived life on his own terms. Stan was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting, off-roading, boating and camping. He was a great admirer and collector of Jeeps and enjoyed rock crawling and trail riding.
Outside of his career and vast array of hobbies, Stan always made time for his growing family. He would gain the mutual love and respect for his grandchildren- who lovingly knew and called him ‘Grandfather”, a well-deserved title for a grand man dedicated to his family.
Stan will remain in the hearts of his loved ones, all of whom will remember him for his boundless generosity, his sense of humor, his stoic presence, and his prominent wisdom.
May he rest in peace.
A graveside service will be held at 11:30 am on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at the Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery, 1950 East Dimple Dell Road, Sandy, Utah. A short gathering will be held from 11:00 - 11:30 am at Larkin Sunset Gardens prior to the graveside.
We will miss you immensely! Take care up there and watch over us. We will care for Patsy as best we can. Until we see you again!
Love, Sandi
We have fond memories of our National park adventure with you and Patsy. A great father, husband and adventurer. You will always be in our hearts And mind. Rest In Peace.
Ray and I began a great friendship with Stan and Patsy many years ago, four-wheelin’.The many trips we took and pictures and videos we have will forever be a constant reminder of a friendship forever. ❤️
Stan was such an amazing man. I always called him “Uncle Stan” , although he was my dad’s cousin and not his brother, but we spent so much time with he and Patsy and their children when we were kids that he felt more like an uncle. I remember him as a kind and patient man with a great sense of humor. I loved camping and jeeping with the entire jeep group, those were some of my best memories growing up. My condolences to his family❤️. Becky.
God bless and our condolences go out to the Bird Family!!
Growing up I always looked up to my cousin Stan. He was extremely cool.
Stan was a great man. He taught me how to make a living, and I will forever be in his debt rest in peace, my friend.
Chad,
