Stanley Ray Jacklitch, age 74, of Breckenridge, MN, passed away on March 30, 2025, at Sanford Medical Center Fargo.

Stan was born on July 10, 1950, in Breckenridge, Minnesota, at St. Francis Hospital. He grew up on the family farm in Campbell, MN, and graduated from Campbell High School. He attended college at MSUM and married Denise Breuer on August 16, 1986, in Mooreton, ND. They made their home in Breckenridge, where they raised three sons. Stan was a devoted and loving father, always present at his children’s sporting events alongside his wife, Denise. Whether it was traveling to games or helping drive the team bus, Stan was always there to support his boys.

Stan had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his life. He played softball until the age of 57, forming lifelong friendships along the way. A hardworking man, he spent many years as a construction worker until an injury led him to pursue other work. Stan later became a school bus driver, commuting back and forth from Fergus Falls. He eventually took a job as a full-time clerk at Stop N Go, where his wife Denise also worked. Together, they became owners and operators of the store. Known for his work ethic and cheerful spirit, Stan was always ready with a smile and a helping hand, even amidst a busy schedule.

After the passing of his beloved wife Denise, Stan embraced retirement and found great joy in his role as a grandfather. He took pride in being the best Grandpa to his seven grandchildren. In his final act of generosity, Stan was an organ donor, continuing to help others even after his passing.
