Still stunned that this has happened. Sorry again for your lost Bubba.

I did not know him other than a nice conversation with him just a few weeks ago at the Cig Rendezvous. It was obvious he was a great guy.

RIP Stan

Only met Stan once, but did not forget him. Besides being a quiet guy, I knew after a few minutes on your boat, we were all in good hands with him behind the wheel. Such a sad loss....

To say that Stan will be missed is a huge understatement. A great man that always looked out for others and made sure they were safe. He always selflessly helped others without being asked to. It was great to have known him and even better to call him a friend. Words cannot express how much he meant to everyone. RIP Stan.

Rip

I'm shocked to hear this. I haven't talked to Stan since we left boating and Oklahoma in 2011, but I've followed all his fun lake times on Facebook. Stan, I always enjoyed talking to you one engineer to another. Obviously you're gone far too soon. Rest In Peace friend.

Oh man... what a shock- I'm at a loss for words. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. Always ready to lend a hand and treated everyone like family.
Truly one of the good guys. Rest In Peace my friend.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Obituary for Stanley "Stan" Douglas Hanes

Stanley (Stan) Douglas Hanes, 53, mechanical engineer, passed away on Friday, June 30, 2017.
Stan was born on February 16, 1964 in Bartlesville to parents Lewis and Margie (Corpolongo) Hanes. He attended Bartlesville Schools, and was a member of the 1982 graduating class of Sooner High School, where he was an all-star athlete, competing in football, wrestling, and baseball. Following high school, he went on to Oklahoma State University, where he earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering. He worked for Phillips Petroleum Co., FTS, and SGS. Stan always enjoyed the outdoors, and was outside whenever possible. His meticulously maintained yard was his pride and joy. Stan loved Grand Lake, and spending time there was a large part of his life. He loved boating, and was a member of the Cherokee Yacht Club, and was Captain of the War Party Crew. Stan enjoyed golfing at Adams Golf Course in Bartlesville, which combined with his love of nature and the outdoors with his athletic competitiveness.
Stan had a big heart, and he loved his family, his lake family, and his golf family. He thrived on helping and taking care of people. You could always count on Stan to lend a helping hand with anything, and you knew he would be ready, willing, and prepared with whatever tool and know-how necessary to get the job done. He was unselfish with his time and his talent, and he never said no to helping someone out. Stan was trusted and respected by everyone that knew him, and he will be tremendously missed by his friends and family.
