I stand on the shoulders of a giant — my eulogy to my Dad
I stand on the shoulders of a giant — my eulogy to my Dad  
Podcast: The Stan R. Mitchell Show
Published On: Mon Dec 22 2025
Description: Today’s episode is different.Instead of a typical show, I’m sharing something deeply personal: the eulogy I delivered for my father.This was not written for an audience, an algorithm, or a platform. It was written for a room filled with family, friends, and loved ones — and ultimately, for God. I share it here only because so many of you have walked alongside me in prayer, encouragement, and quiet support during these last days.My father was not a public figure. He didn’t seek attention or recognition. He lived a small, faithful life — and I’ve come to believe those are often the lives that leave the deepest mark.This eulogy is my attempt to honor him honestly: his faith, his endurance, his humility, and the lessons he passed on without ever needing to raise his voice. It’s also my words of gratitude — for a good father, for a life well lived, and for the hope we have in Christ, even in moments of deep loss.If you choose to listen, know this: there’s no agenda here. No debate. No commentary on the news. Just a son honoring his dad, and pointing, however imperfectly, to the God who carried him through every season.Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your kindness. And thank you for allowing me to share this moment with you.— StanAll posts are free, so feel free to share.To God be the Glory,Stan R. Mitchell This is a public episode.
