Stanley was born on October 4, 1934 in Cranford, AB. He was raised on the family farm and was the third of four boys born to Joseph and Betty Machacek.
Stanley and Kathy were married on April 12, 1958, settling in the Turin area, where they started their own farming operation.
Stanely lived a long and simple life, never complex and always with good and honest intentions. Stanley’s biggest passion was the farm. There was not a day that went by where you couldn’t find him checking the crops or the cattle. He was very much dedicated to what he had built, which continued up until the day he passed. He would constantly be asking about the farm, how the harvest was going and how the calving season had fared.
Stanley, along with Kathy, lived their married life committed to the Catholic Church. Their strong faith helped them build a strong family foundation. Stanley was a member of the Picture Butte Knights of Columbus and also held the position of Grand Knight.
Grandpa is deeply loved and will be dearly missed. He is now in God’s loving hands.
