Stanley ‘Stan’ Birch

Stanley George Thomas Birch
May 14, 1942 – July 16, 2025

Stanley George Thomas Birch passed away peacefully on July 16, 2025, at the age of 83. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Ethel Priscilla Birch (née Jackson), with whom he shared a beautiful life and unwavering love. He is lovingly remembered by his sons, Michael (Cheryl, née Zulauf) and Glenn (Heather, née Zulauf); and by his cherished grandchildren, Mayah, Jaden, Kaelyn, and Skyla. He is predeceased by his brother, David Birch, and is fondly remembered by his brother Ralph Birch (predeceased by Diane née Bone).

Stanley was a man of lively conversation and deep thought. Gifted with a remarkable musical ear, he could play the organ brilliantly without reading a note! He was unforgettable with a one-of-a-kind personality and a wide range of interests. He never lost his sense of humor, even in adversity. He had a generous and compassionate heart for the downtrodden.
Above all, he was devoted to his family and his Christian faith. He loved to share the story of how his precious Ethel came into his life after he asked God for a wife. Together they shared countless memories and camping adventures. We know they are together again – forever cherished in our hearts.

A short graveside service will be held on Saturday August 30, 2025 at the Queensville Cemetery 20778 Leslie St, Queensville, Ontario. All are welcome. If desired, donations to Teen Challenge Canada, in lieu of flowers, would be appreciated. Online condolences and memories may be left for the family at www.RodAbramsFuneralHome.com.
