was recruiting and working with young agents and teaching them the business that he loved. Louis was also a former Trustee of Howard College.

Louis accepted Christ at a Methodist revival when he was 16. As a young father, he made certain his family attended churches that taught the bible as God's inspired Word. His faith in Jesus Christ as his personal savior and only hope of heaven was a conviction and a fixture in his prayers. Louis was characterized by kindness, fairness and courtly manners. In his frequent trips to hospitals during his final year he never failed to tip his hat to ladies or to remove it whenever appropriate. Louis was an inspiring example to his sons and grandsons in the way a husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather should conduct himself. All ladies were treated respectfully but special attention was reserved only for Luan, the love of his life.

Louis was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur J. Stallings and wife, Odessa Lomax Stallings; and a sister, Evelyn Stallings Adkins.

Louis is survived by one brother, Arthur J. “Jimmy” Stallings Jr of Midland; his wife of 70 years, Luan Creighton Stallings of Big Spring; and four children, Dian Griffin (Lane) of Vincent; Kyle Stallings (Jamie) of Midland; Layne Cooper (Dan) of Lamesa; and Todd Stallings (Connie) of Midland. He is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 12 grandchildren-in-law; and 29 great-grandchildren.
