Stanley Joe "Stan" Bevers 

September 15, 1961 - December 23, 2024 

Stanley Joe Bevers, lovingly known as Stan, was called into eternal life on Monday, December 23, 2024. He was born to Joe and Jurlene Bevers in Maywood, California, and later moved with his family to Altus, Oklahoma, where he grew up among his three siblings.

Stan’s early interests included wrestling and football during junior high. His passion for the agriculture industry blossomed during his high school years as he became actively involved in FFA. It was during this time that he also met the love of his life, Tina. At just 16, they recognized their special bond, and they united in marriage at the age of 18. Over their 44 years together, Stan and Tina faced both blessings and challenges, and their love for each other never wavered. The greatest of all blessings was the births of their two daughters, Dana and Jana.

As a father, Stan embraced his role with open arms, nurturing his daughters with gentleness and strength. He had a unique ability to connect with each of them in ways that went beyond words, celebrating their individual journeys—especially with Dana, his daughter with special needs. With patience and understanding, he created a haven where she felt valued, cherished, and capable of overcoming any challenge that came her way.

To his other daughter, Jana, he embodied inspiration, instilling in her the importance of kindness, independence, and resilience. He showed her the beauty in embracing differences and being a voice for those who may struggle to find their own. Together, they created a tapestry of unforgettable moments—filled with laughter, adventure, and deep love.

Stan’s greatest joy in later years was being "Grandad Guy" to his grandchildren, Natalie and Nathan Joe. Whether it was fishing together, cheering them on from the bleachers, or simply spending quality time sharing stories and playing games, he cherished every moment with them.

Stan attended Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in agricultural education. The young couple then moved to Carmen, Oklahoma, where Stan served as an Ag teacher from 1982-1987 at Carmen-Dacoma High School and they welcomed Dana and Jana into the world. In 1987, Stan moved his young family to College Station, where he earned his master’s degree in agricultural economics from Texas A&M University.

Committed to his family and his faith, Stan was also a working man with a deep love for Ag economics and ranch management. He retired as Professor Emeritus and Extension Economist at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Vernon, Texas, after 27 years of service.

During his years with Texas A&M and beyond, Stan proudly worked with many ranches across the United States, spreading his knowledge of ranch management and cow/calf operations.

Stan had a natural ability and love for mentoring young men and women in the cattle industry. He shaped the lives and careers of many young professionals and left an indelible mark on the industry he cherished.

In addition to his close friends and family relationships, Stan cultivated deep and lasting friendships with both ranch owners and employees he worked with. Known for his kindness, generosity, and Christian values he brought light and joy to those around him. He will be deeply missed.

Stan is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Jurlene Bevers, and his brothers, Jerry and Mitchell Bevers. He is survived by his wife, Tina Bevers; daughters Dana Bevers, Jana and husband Jonathan Ramirez; and grandchildren Natalie and Nathan Ramirez of Portland, Texas, his sister Carla Guthrie of Altus, Oklahoma, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
