Stan Wilmer Obituary

Stan Wilmer gained his angel wings on August 1, 2022, at his home in Bayfield, Colorado. He was 73 years old.

Stan's life would seem too short to many, but those who were blessed to know him understand that his existence and the imprint he left on those he met far exceeds the quantity of time that he stayed here. Stan was a talented and caring person with a unique sense of humor. He was a master of numbers, an avid collector, and a baseball and football coach to many young boys growing up in the Bayfield area. When Stan wasn't working or enjoying time with his family, he could be found in any local store stirring up a conversation with just about anyone, whether he knew them or not. Stan was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Not a day went by where Stan didn't talk about how much his children and family meant to him -- his family was arguably his most important achievement in life.

Stan was born in Durango, Colorado on June 27, 1949, and was the 5th generation of the Wilmer family to live in the area. He is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl (Haley) Wilmer, his 4 children, Tony (Annie) Wilmer of Westminster, Colorado, Stephanie (George) Villegas of Brighton, Colorado, Jennifer Wilmer of Bayfield, Colorado, and Jon (Meagan) Wilmer of Bayfield, Colorado. Stan also had 10 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and countless friends. He is also survived by his sisters Susan (Paul) Hilliard, Jay (Becky) Wilmer, Cheryl (Mike) Jorgensen and Becki Pope. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold B. Wilmer, Sr., and Anna Lois (Tubbs) Wilmer, his brother, Harold B. (Shorty) Wilmer Jr, his sister Barbara (Don) Thatcher, and his grandson Andrew Villegas
