Stanley Ray Hodnett, 66, of Grantville, passed away on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.

Born August 3, 1960, in Opelika, Alabama, he was a son of the late Jimmie Lee Hodnett and the late Josie Mae Webster Hall. Stanley will be remembered as a hardworking man who served as a supervisor for Hoshizaki America. He also found great joy in the simple and meaningful moments of life. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, and those moments surely brought him some of his greatest happiness. He liked going to yard sales and antique stores, always appreciating the interest and discovery those outings could bring. He also enjoyed trips to the mountains, where he found pleasure in getting away and making memories with those he loved. His life was marked by devotion to work, enjoyment of family, and appreciation for everyday experiences that made life rich and memorable. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by sisters, Kathy Stinchcomb, Linda Smith, and Evelyn Seiler; and a grandson, Ray Miller.
