Stan was born in El Paso, Texas, and having lived in both Germany and New Orleans, Louisiana, Stanley Joseph Vinet III’s journey was one of Hulk-loving, frog-catching, sword-fighting, and pistol-shooting adventure with a deep passion, and love for those around him. He departed this world too soon, leaving behind a family and community who cherished him dearly.
Stan is survived by his loving father, Stanley Joseph Vinet Jr., and his devoted mother, Janine Dorit Melanie Burgemeister. He shared an unbreakable bond with his older sister and "twinnie," Thalia Julie Blanca Vinet, as well as his two younger sisters, Saskia and Farija, and ‘tio’s bestes’ nephew Viktor Jack Vinet. His legacy of love extends to his grandfather, Stanley Vinet Sr.; Grandmother Renee Stouflett; his Oma, Blanca Burgemeister; and his Opa, Juergen Burgemeister. He is also remembered by his Godmother Malindann Sylve, cousin Bitty, Uncles Christian, Rene, and Christopher, along with the many friends who became like family.
Stan had a passion for life that was evident in everything he did. Whether competing in MMA, where he earned several medals, casting a fishing line into the water with his big cousin Cory, or immersing himself in video games, he pursued his interests with dedication and joy. His bright mind and curiosity led him toward his dreams of becoming an electrical engineer, and he was a proud recipient of the White Sands Missile Range GEMS Award Program, a testament to his drive and potential.
Stanley’s heart was vast, and his love for his friends - his "Homies" - was undeniable. None held a more special place in his heart than Andrew, Carter, Donovan, and Ethan, brothers in spirit who shared in his laughter, ambitions, and adventures.Stan’s kindness, humor, and fearless pursuit of his passions will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his time here was far too short, his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched.
