Stan Bohannon

Surrounded by his loving family and grounded in his faith, Stan Bohannon, 77, of Benton, Kentucky, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, March 2, 2026.

Stan graduated from North Marshall High School in 1966 and Murray State University in 1971 with a degree in Industrial Technology, and served in the U.S. Army Reserves from 1971 to 1977. He later retired from PEBCO, Inc., where he designed heavy-loading machinery and served as a designer-draftsman supervisor. 

Stan was a lifetime member of Briensburg Baptist Church where, over the years, he taught Sunday School, served as a greeter, and sang in the choir. A cherished part of his childhood was spent fishing with his dad below Kentucky Dam. In retirement, he enjoyed sitting on his front porch watching the birds, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and UK basketball, traveling with his beloved wife, Brenda, and—most of all—spending time with his grandchildren.

He was the son of the late Max “Red” Bohannon and Jacqueline (Clayton) Bohannon, and was also preceded in death by his sister, Paula Jane Freeman.

Survived by his wife of 53 years, Brenda (Lane) Bohannon, of Benton, Kentucky; his daughter, Dana Renee Titsworth (Alan), of Benton, Kentucky; his son, Tony Lane Bohannon, of Paducah, Kentucky; his daughter-in-law, Tammy Bohannon, of Paducah, Kentucky; and his son, Timothy Linn Bohannon (Tara), of Palma, Kentucky.

Also surviving are nine grandchildren: Audrey Ann Wynn (Michael), Weston Alan Titsworth (Tosha), Haley Brooke Thurman (Brandon), Taylor Paige Bohannon, Alex Michael Bohannon, Chaney Beth McElya (Zac), Lucas Lane Bohannon (Katie), Lacey JoAnn Bohannon, and Bella Sophia Bohannon; ten beloved great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Arrangements are being handled by Collier Funeral Home, 211 West 5th Street, Benton, KY 42025. The family will receive friends Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at Collier Funeral Chapel at 11:00 a.m. Friday, March 6, 2026, with the Reverends Brian Sims and Brad Walker officiating.
