Stan was born May 16, 1958, in Tallahassee, Florida. Stan was always proud to be a 5th Generation Leon Countian. He attended public schools in Leon County, and in the 8th grade attended Florida High School where he graduated in 1976.
Stan was a veteran of the US Navy, serving his country proudly from 1976 until 1981. He loved to golf, hunt, fish, and enjoyed the woods like his Creek ancestors. He just loved life.
He had made his home in Cairo, GA, since 1999 and was the owner of Syrup City Pools. The Cairo Country Club was his "second home" with many dear and supportive friends.
Stan is predeceased by his parents, W.G. and Jerry Cromartie. He is survived by his son, Philip S. Cromartie, II (Elizabeth), two grandsons, Kade and Kole, of Houston, Texas; brother W.G. "Bill" Cromartie, II (Patty), and niece, Crystal Cromartie, of Tallahassee; two first cousins, Robert S. Davis and John H. Davis of Blountstown, Florida.
