JOHN STANLEY

June 14, 1954 - June 20, 2022

John Alan Stanley passed away unexpectedly on the 20th of June, 2022. He was born in Pasadena, Texas on June 14, 1954 to Bobby F. and Doris Stanley.

Alan attended Deer Park High School, and began his lifelong love of the game of

golf as a member of the golf team. He graduated from

Sam Houston State University with a degree in Accounting.

Alan began his career in the petroleum industry at Charter Oil Company. As a Refined Products Scheduler and Trader, he developed a keen insight into the internal and external factors affecting the petroleum industry and made valuable and long-lasting personal connections with countless individuals worldwide. In the early 2000’s, his entrepreneurial spirit pushed him to become an independent consultant. His opinions made him a frequent source for petroleum industry publications.

When people in the petroleum industry spoke of Alan, they frequently used the words honesty and integrity to describe his personal and business beliefs. He had a strong work ethic and firmly believed that a man’s word meant something when given.

Through his love of golf, he was able to form business connections, partnerships, and lasting friendships throughout his career. His favorite vacations were at Pebble Beach, where he could combine golf with spending time with family.

Alan was preceded in death by his father, Bobby F. Stanley; uncle, Bill Bailey, and grandparents.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Vicky Stanley; his daughter, Adrienne Stanley; his son, Michael Stanley and his wife Skylar, and their daughter, Maeve. He is also survived by his mother, Doris Stanley; sisters, Katharine Gatzke, Martha Stanley, and Carolyn Rogers; aunt and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

A private memorial service has been held by his immediate family.

The world has lost a truly good man.
