[Tyler]

For anyone who might be interested in visiting Don to may their respects, here is his final resting place:

Valley of the Sun Mortuary & Cemetery
10940 East Chandler Heights Rd
Chandler, AZ, 85248
(480) 895-9232

=============================
I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of this news... saw this on Facebook and confirmed with Ms. Donna... Seth is home with his mom so he's safe.

It is with great sadness that the family of Don Stanley share that Papa Chuy has passed away! While on vacation, snorkeling in Cozumel, with his son Seth, Don suffered a fatal heart attack. Plans are underway for his funeral and an Irish Wake to celebrate his life! As we gain more information, we will let you know. Don would want you to celebrate a very Merry Christmas with those you love! Thank you, Seth, Donna, and his sister Marsha.

I'm kind of a mess right now as I really loved that sonafabitch... I will be in touch with Donna to see if there is anything we can do.

Mods, please move this to the other forum. I couldn't post there.

EDIT TO ADD INFORMATION FOR DONATIONS

I looked on line this morning for an official obituary.
The first one to come up was in the Orange County Register. Don was born in Orange County, CA.

https://obits.ocregis...x?pid=177106846

In this obituary it says that, in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to Autism Speaks.

This makes perfect sense since this is Seth's affliction. A link to their site is given below.

Are you sure?

That is awful!!!!!!!

 

[wfooshee]

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!!!!

 

[TomInPA]

Oh my God! No! So sorry for Donna and Seth, but all of us laughed and played along with Don.

I have nothing, at the moment. I thought the title was another BeemerDons joke!

 

[Tyler]

Are you sure? That is awful!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm sure. I'm sorry.

 

[extrememarine]

No words for this...

Thoughts and prayers sent to Seth, Donna and family.

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Are you serious? You would not just post...

Dammit.

I hope where ever he is his shoulder is working and he can ride his motorcycles again.

 

[Tyler]

He loved all of you crazy mofos so much... you gave him a lot.

 

[escapefjrtist]

Damn...RIP Don, you will be missed. Sending many thoughts and prayers to his family.

[majicmaker]

Wow! I'm stunned. No..

 

[FJRay]

No words to say how I feel. Shit Shit Shit. RIP my friend.

 

[El Toro]

I am very sad about this. Don was one of the friendliest, most well meaning guys I've ever met. The world is a less good place for this loss.

 

[MCRIDER007]

Sure going to miss him.............

 

[ahchiu]

Shocking news, I'm speechless, thoughts and prayer to his family. RIP my friend.

Dam it, just dam it! Don may you rest in peace and the roads be to your liking!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in
the hollow of His hand.

Tyler, hope your doing OK Sister.

 

[wheatonFJR]

To a man who was everybody's friend...who would do anything for anybody...Don Stanley...the very proud Irish man.

Fucking suckage.

Glad Seth is home and safe.

 

[El Toro]

Dam it, just dam it! Don may you rest in peace and the roads be to your liking!
May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in

the hollow of His hand.

Tyler, hope your doing OK Sister.

And may you be in heaven an hour before the Devil knows you're dead.

Don, you were part of what made Life, FJRs and BMWs so special. Damn....

And once again, Don Carver has the FJR of a most memorable and loved forum member. Devastating irony.
