Stanley Currier Hoyt

Stanley Hoyt Jr., 88, of Shreveport, Louisiana passed away peacefully on August 24, 2025.

Born in 1936, Stanley lived a long full life marked by love, service, and adventure. In 1963, Stanley married the love of his life, Mary, with whom he shared over five decades of marriage. Together they raised their son, Stanley Hoyt, III and built a family rooted in love, dedication, and loyalty.

Stanley proudly served his country in the military carrying with him courage, discipline and devotion to duty that shaped the rest of his life.

Following in the footsteps of his father, he devoted a lifelong passion for aviation. Not only did he love flying airplanes, but he also generously shared his knowledge of teaching others how to take to the skies. He also loved playing golf.
