Stan Judge Waakwaakwit
Sgt. Stanley Joseph Judge passed away from suicide on Friday May 16, 2025, at the age of 47.
Beloved husband of Sherrill for 32 years. Father of Kyla (Zach) and Taylor. Uncle to Zhaawin, Nangoons, Weengush, Greyson, and most of Georgian Bay. Grandpa (Bakka) to Nawaatin. Son of Roberta and Wayne, Josh Pawis Sr. and the late Karen and Janice. Brother to Bill, Joshua, Jereden, and the late John and Desire.
Stan was a decorated US Army veteran, an Eagle staff carrier, and a survivor of the child welfare system. He was a bionic ball player, fish slayer, a land protector, and a mentor to many. A force to be reckoned with.

Long time friend/ball player sending condolences to the Judge family. Stan always was a fun, positive, and happy person. If the guys got all wound up, Stan would joke around and lighten the mood. The world will be a lesser place without him.

It’s incredibly hard to put into words the sadness we feel with the passing of my colleague and friend, Stan. Stan was truly one of a kind—a warm, kind-hearted soul whose positive energy filled every room he walked into. He was a joy to work with, always wearing a smile, always willing to lend a helping hand, and always going the extra mile to support those around him. His passion for life and his pride in his heritage were inspiring and genuine. Stan brought people together, not just with his laughter and optimism, but through his deep sense of community and respect for everyone. We were all better for knowing him, and he leaves behind a legacy of kindness, hard work, and friendship that won’t be forgotten. Rest in peace, Stan—you will be deeply missed.
