Albert Cletis Stogsdill, age 102, passed away on February 15, 2026, surrounded by the love of those who cherished him. Born in Sherman, Texas, in 1924, Albert entered the world at a time when the country was rebuilding and redefining itself. Over the next century, he witnessed profound change — and met it all with the steady, grounded spirit that defined his life.

As a young man, Albert answered the call to serve his country. He spent six years in the United States Army during World War II, rising to the rank of Corporal (E‑4). His service reflected the same qualities he carried throughout his life: duty, resilience, humility, and a quiet strength that never needed to announce itself. He served with honor, and those who knew him understood how deeply that chapter shaped the man he became.

After returning home, Albert built a long and respected career with Pacific Power & Light, where he worked as an electrical engineer for 37 years before retiring. His work ethic, technical skill, and calm, thoughtful approach earned him the respect of colleagues and the gratitude of the communities his work supported.

Albert was one of thirteen children, a background that shaped his deep appreciation for family, connection, and loyalty. Growing up in a large household taught him the value of togetherness, generosity, and looking out for one another — values he carried throughout his life and passed on to those around him.

He had a lifelong love for sports, especially boxing, baseball, and golf. Whether watching a match, following a season, or enjoying a round, these passions brought him joy and reflected the discipline, focus, and quiet competitive spirit that were so much a part of who he was.

A devoted Christian, Albert lived his faith with sincerity and humility. He served as a deacon in the Church of Christ, offering support, leadership, and compassion to his church family. His faith was evident not only in his service, but in the way he treated others — with kindness, patience, and a gentle heart.

Albert’s legacy lives on in the values he passed down, the lives he touched, and the love he shared across more than a century. His family and friends will remember him for his wisdom, his steady presence, and the warmth he brought into every room.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Frances Juanita (Johnson) Stogsdill; parents, Albert Sherman Stogsdill and Grace Ethel Merritt; daughter, Shelia Kay Horn.

He is survived by his children, Danny Lynn Stogsdill, Carol Ann Jackson, and Mark Stogsdill; nine grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Mullican Little Funeral Home 754 State Hwy 56 E. Bells, Texas 75414. Burial to follow at Cherry Mound Cemetery in Denison, Texas.
