Stanley James Grenfell, 19, of Nampa, Idaho passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2013. He was born on October 10, 1993 in Eureka, California to parents, Stanley Edward Grenfell and Leslie McIntyre Grenfell and best friend and big sister Natalie Rae.
At the age of 4 his family moved to Nampa, Idaho where he spent his remaining years surrounded by his loving family and friends. Stanley graduated from Skyview High School in 2012. Since 2009 Stanley worked at Idaho Veterinary Hospital and recently graduated from Carrington College, earning his Pharmacy Technology degree.
Stanleys amazing smile, outgoing and loving personality was a bright light to all who knew him.
He was a friend to all; young, old, peers and pets. He would be the first to watch after small children and pets at family events. He conversed with elders with sincere interest. As a young adult he worked many hours, pursued his education, spent quality time with his family and enjoyed his wonderful group of special friends.
Stanley was a force to be reckoned with when playing video games. His master of crazy stunts on his BMX bicycle made him recognized as a legend at the local Nampa Roosevelt Skate Park. Before he went to Carrington College he contemplated attending culinary school. We will all miss his special ham.
He is survived by his parents, Stan and Leslie Grenfell of Nampa, Idaho, sister, Natalie Grenfell, Grandmother, Marjorie McIntyre, Uncles and Aunts; Bill and Connie Gleaves, Jean McIntyre Patten, Doug and Linde McIntyre, John and Mignon McIntyre, Nancy Delaney-Carter, Stacey Grenfell.
