Stanley was born November 27, 1943, in Syracuse, MO, a son of Herbert and Laura (Kirchner) Brauer, who preceded him in death.

On October 23, 1965, at First Baptist Church of Syracuse, MO, he married the love of his life, Karen Klein, who survives of the home.

Stanley graduated from Tipton High School in 1961 and earned his bachelor’s degree in field crops production from the University of Missouri in 1965.

Stanley served honorably in the United States Army in Vietnam, where he earned a Distinguished Flying Cross for service above and beyond the call of duty, and served as a military flight instructor at Fort Wolters, TX.
