Thomas "Tommy" Walter Stanfield
July 22, 1942 ~ October 29, 2026
Thomas “Tommy” Walter Stanfield, age 84, of Palestine, Texas, left this world for his heavenly home on Thursday, the 29th day of October 2026. He was surrounded by the love and support of his devoted family when he passed away. Tommy was born on the 22nd day of July 1942 in Malakoff, Texas to the late Thomas Hodge Stanfield and Lila Gertrude Fleming Stanfield.
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. He was blessed with five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him great joy.
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.
