Throughout his school years, Stacey was involved in sports. \u00a0Wrestling was his favorite as he participated in junior high, high school, and college teams. \u00a0His love for the sport of wrestling continued throughout his life. After graduating from Grand Junction High School in 1965, Stacey attended Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado, where he earned a degree in Education.

He also celebrated with 22 wrestlers who achieved the Individual State Championships. \u00a0In 2014, Stacey was inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to Nebraska Wrestling. \u00a0Teaching and Coaching led Stacey to Palisade High School, where he taught and coached till his retirement. \u00a0A proud parent and coach, he saw his son, Dan, achieve 3 State Individual Championships for Palisade High School.<\/p>\n
Stacey married Claudia Ann Pembridge in 1973. \u00a0They had two wonderful sons, Daniel and Jonathan.

Many thanks to all of Stacey\u2019s friends, former colleagues, and students who have reached out to Claudia, Dan, and Jon, remembering the many ways Stacey touched their lives. \u00a0One of his former students wrote, \u201cWhat you taught us day in and day out, on the mat and off the mat, in the classroom and out in the community about being better people, being humble, being there for each other, the list goes on, I thank God you were always there for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
We will miss you, Stacey.
