Stanley (Stan) G. Meyer, age 83, of River Falls, WI passed away on Sunday, July 12, 2026 in River Falls, WI.
Stan was born on March 5, 1943, in River Falls, WI to the late Bernard Meyer and Edna (Nelson) Meyer.
Stan worked for his father’s Gas Station, Meyer’s Mileage Service on Main Street prior to joining the Army National Guard in 1963. After 6 years in service as an infantry man, Stan went to work as a mail clerk for the St. Paul Post Office where he worked his remaining career. Stans was devoted son who took care of his mom until she passed. Stan was a landlord for 30 plus years and a police reservist for River Falls for a few years, and a member of the Knights of Columbus. After retirement, you could find Stan and his dogs shopping locally at Ace Hardware, visiting the local banks to talk with the local ladies, and eating at local restaurants. Stan loved to “catch-up” and would always end his conversations with “that’s all that is happening on the Western Front.”
Stan loved spending time doing what he wanted to do. As a bachelor he enjoyed his cabin, model trains, fishing, and walking his beloved dogs. Buckwheat and Tauney were Stan’s true companions. Stan did not have children of his own, but he did enjoy his brother’s family and joined them for holidays and celebrations. Stan was known to take his nieces and nephew under his wing and pass along his knowledge.
Stan will be remembered for his faith, entrepreneurial endeavors, the deep love for animals especially dogs, and for the River Falls community.
Stan is survived by his brother, Charles B. Meyer, Sr.; nieces and nephew, Laura Rebholz, Linda (Perry Pugliano) Meyer, Charlie (Laura) Meyer, Lana (Jeff) Meyer and numerous grand nieces and nephews.
Stan was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Edna Meyer; and his sister-in-law, Patricia Meyer.

Enjoyed many chats with Stan at Family fresh, he’d always stop by and visit on Wednesday’s.
Thanks for sharing this Carlos, I know he enjoyed seeing you there.
Stan was one of a kind!
He stopped at Family Fresh weekly to get his Dog Bones for Tauney.
He liked reminiscing about ” the “Good Old Days” & Tauney’s visits to U of M Vet.
He was a kind & a funny man.
I got a kick out of him.
He would always zoom the aisles to look for me.
Condolences to his Family!
& where is Tauney now? ??
Thank you for sharing Lori. Stan talked fondly of your conversations with me when we did our weekly recap. Tauney went to heaven about a year ago. I’m sure they are both enjoying seeing one another again in heaven and living the best life forever. Blessings.
Hey Stan, it’s Snooks- Thank you for all you did for us throughout the years. You were funny, hard working, kind, and supportive in all that we did. Sure will miss you on earth – until we meet again, Rest in Peace and give all those humans and doggies in heaven a big hug from me!
Charlie & family … I’m so sorry for Stan’s passing. I knew his face, but never had the honor of knowing his River Falls ‘story’. May his Memory be Eternal!
