Mr. and Mrs. Daggs, Kori, Darryl, Todd and entire family,
My thoughts, love, and prayers have been with you all through Stanley’s journey. Mr. and Mrs. Daggs, I know you are proud of Stanley as well as you should be (as with Darryl and Todd as well.) Both of you did an outstanding job in raising your three sons to be awesome men.
Stanley was a part of our family for many many years. He was a Mighty Mighty Viking and a dedicated Vol. More than that Stanley was a true gentleman in every aspect of the word. He was blessed to have you all as his parents and as his brothers.
Kori, you were blessed to have a “one of a kind” husband who loved you with all his heart and soul. He was blessed to have you and your love as his wife. What a special bond you had. Thank you for the love and care you always provided him. You both were blessed to have had each other.
The world is a better place for those of us who had Stanley in our lives. We have smiled more, laughed more, learned more patience and gentleness, and witnessed his faith and love of his country, his Lord, his family, his friends and his sports teams just by knowing him. I was proud and honored for him to call me “sis.”
How truly blessed we are to have known Stanley Wayne Daggs. You are missed here Stanley, but we will be together again. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us Stanley!!!!’ We are all better people for knowing you.
