Michael H. Stanton's Obituary
Michael H Stanton, 52, of Cicero, passed away unexpectedly on November 27th, 2022. He was born in Syracuse to Thomas and Cynthia Stanton and raised in Camillus. He graduated from West Genesee in 1988 and received a BA in Communications from SUNY Oswego in 1992. Michael worked in the telecommunications industry for over 30 years as a successful sales leader earning many awards and achievements throughout his career. He was currently employed at Windstream Telecommunications.
"Concert Mike" enjoyed live music, attending over a hundred concerts around the country. "Vacation Mike" loved trips to Nashville and Franklin, TN, Myrtle Beach, Key West, Lake Placid and the Adirondacks with family and friends. He liked to spend his free time researching stocks and the economy and was specifically interested in how crypto currency would play a role in the new economy. Above all, Michael enjoyed the life that he had made with the love of his life, Dawn. His two greatest accomplishments were his sons, Connor, and Jared. He was a proud father that shared his love of baseball with his family. The biggest reward for Michael was to watch his sons develop into the fine young men they have become today.
Michael was predeceased by his father, Thomas Stanton.
