Mr. Stanley Perry Moon

Stanley Perry Moon passed away on October 9, 2024, in Titusville, Florida. He was born on April 12, 1942, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Homer Perry Moon and Golda Virginia Irene Koester. Stan grew up on a farm in French Village, Missouri, where he enjoyed riding his tractor, learning from his dad how to fix and repair things, caring for their animals, and spending time with family. He attended a one-room schoolhouse until the eighth grade and then proceeded on to high school. Stan continued his education at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri, graduating in 1964, with an electrical engineering degree. He was hired by McDonnell Douglas and worked in St. Louis, Missouri, and Titusville, Florida on the Dragon and Tomahawk Cruise Missile programs. He retired after 35 years. Stan also was a part-time math instructor for several years with the adult education center in Titusville. At the age of twenty, Stan joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where his service included being a ward mission leader, youth leader, Sunday school teacher, counselor to several bishops, bishop twice, and as patriarch for the last three years. Stan loved the Lord and had a strong testimony of the gospel and the church and had a real love for the people he served. Stan married his sweetheart Eileen Rogers in the Salt Lake Temple on April 25, 1969, and they were married for over 55 years. They are the parents of sons Charles Stanley Moon and Paul Joseph Moon, who reside in Titusville, Florida. Stan dearly loved his family and friends and was loved and admired by them also. One of the many things he enjoyed doing was family history and genealogy. He spent many years researching and gathering information on his family and ancestors and writing histories about them. He did this for the Rogers side of Eileen's family, too. Stan was so familiar with many of these ancestors because of his extensive research, that he felt that when he met them on the other side, he would know them. Stan also spent considerable time researching and gathering pictures of the LDS church in Titusville and Cocoa from 1920 on and published a history book about this, along with updated picture books of the current families in the congregation. Stan and Eileen cared for their dear mothers for over 10 years, often taking them places when possible, traveling together to their homes in Utah and Missouri for visits, etc. Stan was ever so kind, patient and devoted to them. When Chuck and Paul were growing up, Stan and Eiteen took them on many family trips and vacations, often driving to Utah, Missouri, and California to see the families. The boys were good travelers. Stan and Eileen traveled abroad many times, enjoyed lovely cruises, and took RV trips throughout the country with their cute, little dogs, Cassie and Doogie. Stan will be greatly missed by many and incredibly missed by his wife and sons. Thank you to all for the many kind sentiments, prayers, and help you have been to us. We love all of you so much. Memorial services will be held Saturday at 11 a.m., November 9, 2024, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at 3000 South Street, Titusville, Florida. Interment will be in the Hall Cemetery, Farmington, Missouri. FAMILY KINDLY REQUESTS NO FLORAL TRIBUTES OR FLOWERS
