Christopher Jaros Stannard Obituary

Christopher Jaros Stannard was born in San Bernardino CA March 5, 1963 to Robert Kieth and Angela Helene Stannard and moved to Phoenix, Arizona a few years later. He lived, loved and died unexpectedly in Phoenix on May 3, 2026 at the age of 63.

He worked 30 years as an electrician followed by 13 years as a fuel tanker driver and five years as a self-employed handyman. He even worked a brief stint as a pilot.

He had the skills to fix nearly anything mechanical at a professional level. He was loved by many in his community because he fixed things for people who couldn't afford the services on an almost weekly basis for most of his life until death.

His proudest accomplishment was raising his only son, Tyler, to become highly successful with a beautiful family including daughter-in-law, Xin, and granddaughter, Genesis. His greatest passion was building hot rod cars and engines for himself, friends, and family. He also cherished his memories of times with friends and family.

He is survived by his son Tyler, granddaughter Genesis, daughter-in-law Xin, mother Angela, brother Robert, his sisters Elizabeth and Felicia, and all the people he helped over his life.
