Stacey Wayne Branham was born on August 28th, 1969, in Quincy Ill, to Albert and Sharon (Brumbaugh) Branham.  On October 20th, 2007, Stacey was united in marriage to Lori Thorn in Keokuk, Ia.   
Stacey leaves behind his wife, parents, children, Henry (Kristin), Sydney (Erik), Jordan (Laney), Dalton (Alyssa), grandchildren, Maddox, Owen, Octavius, Solly, Bo, Clint, Maisey, Loveyette and Raven with grandchild number 10 "baby bean" coming in July 2026, sisters, Lisa and Kristina (Peter), nieces and nephews Brianna, Rickey, Brandon, Adam, Jaden, Sofia and Ryker, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.    
Stacey was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Albert Sr. and Willadean Branham, maternal grandparents, Oscar Wayne Brumbaugh, Erma Cooper and mother-in-law, Connie Thorn.   
As a young boy, Stacey was in the Boys Scouts and became an Eagle Scout in his teenage years. He went to Highland High School and graduated in 1987. In 1997, he began working for Titan Wheel in Quincy, Ill., until 2024.   
Stacey was a loving son, husband, dad, grandpa/papa, brother, and uncle. His family meant everything to him, and his grandchildren were his pride and joy. He was happiest when he was surrounded by family at the holidays or rough housing with his grandsons. He was known to be very ornery and loved to give everyone a hard time. He loved joking around and telling the tallest tales. Eighteen years after his marriage to Lori, the two shared a memorable trip to Gulf Shores.  
Stacey was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan and enjoyed St. Louis Cardinal baseball. He enjoyed working with his hands; he made signs and created projects with wood and glass. He added a new hobby of making beautiful projects with his laser. Stacey also enjoyed going to auctions to buy oddball stuff he would say he probably didn't need. He collected KC Chiefs memorabilia and Uranium Glass.   
Stacey enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and found joy in the things he loved most. He was a fan of sci-fi films, classic rock music, and especially enjoyed listening to AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne. Stacey could often be found with a Diet Pepsi in hand and had a fondness for sweets.   
Stacey will be deeply missed by his family and by all who knew and loved him, leaving behind cherished memories that will be held close in their hearts.  
Pallbearers will be Henry Branham, Rickey Washington, Marty Hills, Hunter Strahl, Brandon Crabell and Peter Washington.
