He leaves behind his loving wife of 33 years, Vicki Burke Stanfield, whom he loved dearly. Of all the blessings in his life, being married to Vicki was among his greatest joys. Their years together were filled with love, companionship, laughter, and countless treasured memories.

Tommy is also survived by his daughter, Pamela Dickson, and her husband, Dan; his son, Tommy Stanfield, and his wife, Tammy; and his brothers, Ray Stanfield and his wife, Janie, and Roy Stanfield and his wife, Kaye.

A member of Southside Baptist Church, Tommy loved the Lord, enjoyed the fellowship and friendships he shared with his church family. He loved the simple pleasures of life, especially fishing and playing golf. He also had a special gift for giving people a hard time, always bringing laughter and a little mischief wherever he went. Those who knew him will surely remember his quick wit, playful teasing, and the personality that made him one of a kind.

Tommy leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
