He grew up in Fox Lake Village before moving to Fairmont. He took great pride in his work at Step and MRCI in Fairmont. Stacey was a member of Fox Lake Chapel where he was baptized and enjoyed reading scripture and singing hymns.
He was a proud and active member of the community and was involved with ARC and the Eagles Club in Fairmont, where he enjoyed helping by washing and clearing tables. He was honored as Martin County’s Outstanding Handicapped Citizen in 1983 and was an honorary fireman and rode on the firetruck in the Welcome Parade in 1990.

Stacey was involved in the “People‘s First Program” where he visited the state capital as a representative. He enjoyed being the ball boy for the Welcome Feed Mill softball team.

He loved sports of all kinds and especially enjoyed attending Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings games. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, bowling, WWE wrestling, car races, music and dancing, especially when the Johnny Holms Band was playing. His enthusiasm for life, love of sports and music, and friendly spirit brought joy to those around him and will be fondly remembered by many.
