Stanley Dean Jarvis

August 6, 1954 — October 8, 2024

Stanley "Stan" Dean Jarvis, 70, of Sedalia, MO, passed away peacefully at home on October 8, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born on August 6, 1954, in Moberly, MO, he was the son of Victor L. Jarvis, who resides in Sedalia, and the late Carol S. (Roling) Jarvis.

On March 27, 1993, Stan married Beatrice Ann Oliver in Las Vegas, NV, and together they built a warm and loving home.

A proud 1972 graduate of Sacred Heart High School, Stan was a devoted member of the Catholic faith and a parishioner of St. Vincent de Paul Parish at Sacred Heart Church. He proudly served in the United States Navy from 1975 to 1979, honoring his country with dedication and commitment. He enjoyed a successful career as a machinist at Gardner-Denver, where he worked for over 25 years before retiring in 2022.

Stan's passions included camping, woodworking, fishing, and frequenting the casinos. A lifelong supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, he was known as a master griller whose barbecues were a highlight for family and friends. Above all, Stan cherished his role as a devoted family man, attending countless activities and events for his children and grandchildren, whose lives he enriched with love and laughter.

In addition to his wife and father, Stan is survived by three children: Tina Oliver of Kansas City, MO; Aric Jarvis (David) of Columbia, MO; and Jason Jarvis (Samantha) of Sedalia. He also leaves behind six beloved grandchildren: Daniel, Gabriel, James, Kaylee, Desirae, and Ayden. He is remembered fondly by his siblings, Cliff Jarvis (Debbie) of Columbia, MO; Sandy Jenkins of Warrensburg, MO; and Matt Jarvis (Suzette) of Kansas City, MO, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Stan was preceded in death by his mother and a brother, Rich Jarvis.

A recitation of the Rosary will take place on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 4:30 p.m by Father Joe Corel, followed by a visitation from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Rea Funeral Chapel. Stan will be laid to rest with military honors at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, MO, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., where the United States Navy will present the flag, and deacon Arvol Bartok will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Sacred Heart School Foundation, care of Rea Funeral Chapel. Stan's spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.
