Edward was born on May 6, 1963, in Washington, North Carolina, to the late Ezickel Stanley Jr. and Beulah Stanley. He was a 4-year veteran of United States Army and often spoke of his experiences as a tank driver and rifleman.

Edward was a skilled mechanic and enjoyed his life’s work as the owner and operator of Stanley Auto Services. In his free time, he could be found on the open water, boating and fishing. A good round of golf was also a welcome activity for Edward. He loved his family and was anxiously awaiting the birth of his first grandchild who is due in July.

He is survived by his wife, Tina Stanley of the home; daughters, Amanda Jernigan and Jennifer Jernigan, both of Newport; son, John Jernigan III of Swansboro; sisters, Darlene Whitley of Washington and Tina Early of Danville; and brother, Derek Evett of Mississippi.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions in memory of Edward, may be made to the Carteret County Humane Society at P. O. Box 357, Newport NC 28570.
