"Amo Probos" — I Love the Virtuous

Celebrating the Life of Stanton Leroy Blair

ORLAND, CA – Stanton Leroy Blair, age 93, passed away peacefully at home on May 24th, surrounded by love beside his devoted son and grandson.

A Legacy of Faith, Honor, and Artistry

Stanton's absolute number one devotion was to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His deep faith guided every aspect of his life. Alongside his devotion to God, he was known for his bright, infectious humor and a rare gift for bringing laughter and joy to any room.

A proud Army veteran, Stanton served with honor while stationed in Berlin, Germany. His military blood and deep sense of duty passed down through the generations, living on proudly in his grandson who retired from the Army, continuing in his step-grandson who served with honor as a Marine, and extending forward onto his great-grandson who answers the call of duty today. Upon returning to civilian life, Stanton channeled his discipline into a multi-faceted career as an accomplished professional artist and a dedicated agriculturalist, nurturing both the land and his family.

Stanton was the ultimate family man. He is survived by his beloved children James Blair Sr., grandchildren Cassidy Blair, Jaren Blair Sr. (Annaceli Blair), and great-grandchildren Jaren Blair Jr., Alexander Blair, Maximus Blair, Lillyanna Blair, Alexis Blair, and as well as the cherished married family members of his late wife, Florine Blair, who remain a deeply treasured part of his legacy.

He was preceded in death by his beloved first wife, Doris, his beloved late wife, Florine, and the loved ones who went before him.
