Berry Eugene Stanley, age 75 of Asheboro, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at the Randolph Hospice House.

Berry was born November 5, 1950 in Martin, KY to Maryland and Oma Hamilton Stanley. Berry worked and retired as a forklift operator with Energizer in Ohio and then later in Asheboro. He loved to work with his hands. Berry worked on cars his entire life. Whether it was rebuilding his 1955 Chevy truck or working on someone else’s car, it was his passion and love.
