Celebrating the life of

He relocated back home to Savannah after attending McDonalds Hamburger University in Chicago, IL.
He took over the management of a McDonald’s family-owned business. Later, he started a remodeling company and ran that for several years. Stan was a gifted craftsman and guru of all things mechanical.
Stan has been working at Standard Concrete in Savannah, GA for the last 6 years as a Transportation Manager and Off-line supervisor. This was Stan’s dream job, and he loved the challenges of the job and coming to work every day.
Stan was an avid outdoorsman- loving it all: Hunting, fishing, and camping. He spent many weekends outdoors with his son, the most important person in his life, Dale Wilhite and family from Savannah, GA and his Citadel buddy Charlie Dorta and family from Naples, FL.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was an amazing person to work with. Always had a smile and very quick witt. I looked forward to my conversations and doing business with him. Lord Stanley Simpson IV, I considered more than a work colleague he was a friend and a fellow Scottish Lord. May your family be at peace knowing he was a well loved, admired and joy to be around. In scripture it states a mans death date is greator than his birth date because you know what he has accomplished. Stan accomplished Love and Joy to all he came in contact with so i celebrate his life today and thank his family for giving a great person to know for the short time i got to know him.

Stan was my best friend in elementary school. I have such great memories of us learning to surf, or golf, or just running around the woods with our survival knives pretending we were Rambo. He made friends wherever we went, and had such a kind heart. My condolences to his son and family, he is gone too soon! —Matt
