It is with immense sadness that I announce the passing of Stanley Lis on September 2, 2026. Stanley was born on October 12, 1950, in Chicago, where he spent the majority of his life.

Everyone who met Stan will remember his passion, quick wit, charisma, strong work ethic, and dedication to his family. He worked hard throughout his life, balancing his commitment to his work with spending time with those he loved.

Stan took immense pride in his children, whether celebrating their academic milestones, professional successes, or personal accomplishments. He would proudly share their achievements with anyone who would listen.

Stan is survived by his wife, Linda Lis; his daughters, Maria Lis and Renee Pryor; and his son, Mark Lis. He also leaves behind two grandchildren, Kaley Pryor and Jake Lis.

Although Stanley may no longer be with us, his spirit and memory will live on through his wife, children, and grandchildren. As they continue their journeys, they will undoubtedly continue to make him proud. His memory will endure through the stories of his life, the lessons he passed down, and the cherished moments we will forever hold dear.
