I will never forget the Stakley family reunion in California over 20 years ago. It was the first time I saw my father with that many of his brothers. I'm so grateful for that moment. The laughter and stories that came out of those few days will always be cherished.
My uncle was a gentle and gracious man. I will always remember and appreciate his example.

I just found out about the loss of your father and I am so sorry I did not know sooner. I hope he did not suffer. What an amazing man. I am sure you miss him especially this time of year. I have known your family my entire life and was brought up by your Grandma Sarah who I consider to be a mother to me. I have also known your mother since I was 10 years old. I would love it if you would get in touch with me directly. All my love to your family. Jean Zinner

Dr. Stakley truly left a mark as his mom & aunts. did .....and I often reflect with prayer that all is well with his entire family.... In reflection I think of GOD saying to Dr. Stakley, “Well done my good and faithful servant”. I am praying that his living is Truly an example of CHRIST like Love. .. May each one us be a vessel and continue together with focus to walk in HIS Light....,

I cant believe, Im barely finding out about Dr Alfonza Stakley's passing. He was a great Doctor and very nice this is baffling, "God must've needed his knowledge in heaven." The last time I saw him, was in 2013 that same year I found out, he was also the doctor of my great grandmother "that blew my mind." He was caring for others for many long years rest in heaven/peace for you were great at your job.

Dr Stakely became my doctor while treating my Mother. I had no health insurance and he treated me anyway. He would give me medication for my diabetes. After my mother pass away. I end up getting a job with insurance I would try to see him as much as possible. The last time I saw him was 2012. I was shocked he had passed away in 2014 I will miss him

I am sorry to hear of Alfonza Stakley's passing. I have fond memories of a family reunion that to this day brings a smile to my face. May Revelation 21:3,4 soon become a reality and his family can visit with him again.
He and his wife worked hard to pull everyone together and I am grateful they took advantage of the opportunity to connect everyone while it was possible.

He treated his patience with dignity and respect. I remember doing research for him when I was in college. I know he overpaid me at the time but I was so grateful for the opportunity and the pay :-). He made my mother feel comfortable and respected. I will always be great ful for his demeanor, his care, his Faith and his commitment.

"Dr Stakley will truly be missed. He was our family physician and friend for over 20 years. He was not only the best Dr anyone could be blessed enough to have but a Spiritual mentor to our family. God used Dr Stakley to sustain and lengthen my husbands life. Dr Stakley heard from the Spirit of God and told my husband to have an operation which indeed lengthened his life. My dad and husband of 28yrs also joined precious Dr Stakley in Heaven in March and April of 2014. I believe they are all in that great cloud of witnesses with the Lord. All of our love and prayers to Dr Stakleys Family and staff. This world, our lives and now heaven have been enhanced from his life."

To the Family;
I'll always remember Dr. Stakley, his friendlyness, we met years ago maybe 27 or 29, and he always treated me like a friend, I'll never forget the time he and his beautiful wife come to me house, just pick some real fresh collered greens I had in my garden, I try to get him to give me a phyical to see if everything I was doing was right, he would look at me and say, you don't need me, keep doing what your doing and you be allright, he would always shout this out to me. I believe this was his way of let me know he was & has pray for me to have long life, I'm now 83years old, I miss you" every Sun I look over and see you beautiful wife, and I see her strengh, she too misses you" she also know that your in God hands and she too will see you again. much love to your family.

Marilyann & I have been deeply enriched by our 50 + year relationship.with Alphonsa. More simply put when met in Washington's Kappa House on R St. NW we became instant brothers and companions for life's journey which was unimaginable at that beginning. Through his material and spiritual generosity Al progressed in his relationship with the Almighty making him welcome and humbled upon reaching his side last year. May all who love Al look forward to joining him in paradise until we are each called to our reward,and may the blessings of being in his company bring the special feelings we each possess help sustain us as he showed by his excellent example. Rejoicing Marilyann & Melvin Williams

A tribute to Dr. Stakley. My Doctor, My Friend, My Mentor, My example of a Godly Man, and one of the angels God assigned to me. It's been well over a month since his passing, and it stills feels as if I got the news yesterday. Words alone can't express how much of a blessing Dr. was to my life, and to the lives of some of my family members. During the 29 years I have known my Doctor/friend he never once gave me a reason not to trust him. Always instilling the word, praying and laying hands, sharing how much he thanked God daily for his gracious wife Cynthia & their family, teaching me by words and living example how to know a Godly man, and being the father figure I needed during one of the most devastating time in my life. I will forever hold his words of wisdom deep in my heart, and I am continuously thankful to God that he allowed Dr. to be apart of my life for 29 years, and I am so happy that before my Doctor/friend left this earth, I had the opportunity over the years to tell him how much my family and I loved and appreciated him. I look forward to seeing him again. Cynthia may you and your family continue to be strengthen daily through God's word, and thank you for sharing Dr. with my family.
Continued Blessing / Love

When I learned about the passing of Dr. Stakley, I was in shocked. I have been a patient of his for a very long time. My heart is heavy knowing I'm not going see him again on earth, but is joyful at the same time knowing I will be able to see him again in heaven. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May GOD strengthen the Stakley family during this time and know you are all in my prayers.

It was sad to hear that Dr. Stakley passed. May the family find comfort in the Word and the memories of his great life. We are fellow members of CCC and will remember seeing him on many occasions at church activities. We pray for strength and peace for Mrs. Stakley and the entire family.

Dr. Stakley will be missed. When I first moved to California, he gave me good Words of Wisdom about California. He also told me to keep my eyes on Jesus and I would be alright. He was my medical doctors for years and he will be missed but the Word of God that he shared will not.
February 28, 2014

A legacy was made. May it continue with each and every one Dr. Stakley has touched as you reflect on the memories. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Stakley but from all that I've heard he was a great man of honor, integrity, and tenderness that was only enlightened by his wisdom. I feel so fortunate to have known his mom, it feels like just touching the hem of his clothing. Mrs. M. Stakley was outstanding lady who shared her life with so many. She, taught Me as you know better, you do better. When we miss someone just knowing we will see them again brings comfort. To Mrs. Stakley, Steven, Sidney, to the entire family may Almighty GOD shine HIS light in your darkest moments.

Dear Stakley Family,
Thank you for sharing Dr. Stakley with us. He is one of the greatest examples of Christ that we have ever met. My wife Debra and I LOVED our visit's to his office. Most of which were not for medical purposes but because we enjoyed talking to him. He inspired us. He was like the Holy Spirit a comforter, counselor and friend. We miss him already.
We will continue to keep you family in our prayers. "What a wonderful God we have - He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trails. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (TLB)
With Deepest Sympathy,
Jon and Debra

It was such a blessing to grow up knowing Dr. Stakley and his family. As a member of CCC I often remember Apostle walking the isles asking him, if he was correct when referring to some issues related to medicine. I loved how he could become apart of the service. I also thought it was so powerful for people to know we had doctors in our community. Dr. Stakley and his family were great role models for God and of successful people in the world. He was also such a loving person. He will truly be missed by so many.

He has been like a Father to me, and I will never forget how he helped me not only when I was sick physically, but also going through mental challenges...There was not a day that I did not come in to see him and he would not pray for and with me... He walked me through some very rough times in my Life, and I will be eternally grateful to Him... He was A True Man Of GOD, and YOU Dr. Stakely, will always hold a special place in MY HEART!!! Rest In Paradise Anointed Blessed Man Of God. Until We Meet Again...Love You Always And Forever!!!

A Gentle Giant, among men. Dr. Stakley, has been my in-laws doctor for many years, and now I've been blessed to know him as a friend as well as a patient. He would know why I was visiting before I walked through the door to say what was hurting. We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to embrace his love and wisdom as a doctor and as a human being. We will truly miss him. Thank you Heavenly Father, for sharing such a great man with us. We sincerely appreciate the Stakley family for the unselfish act of love, we are able to attend his memorial services. Our sincerest condolences for your great loss. May the Good Lord continue to embrace your family with love during this time and always. God Bless You All always.

I'm deeply sadden to hear of the passing of our beloved doctor. Dr. Stakley was my personal physician for over 18 years. He was a friend I depended on in crisis or when all was going great. He would pray with me after each visit or we would exchange bible verses. Dr was always engaging, impact full and uplifting he was a truly special man in every sense of the word . Gone but never forgotten

Even through I'm not there with you now I feel your strength.

Dr. Stakley, who I many times with a slip of the tongue called him "Pastor Stakley" has been the Stallings' family doctor for more than 20 years. We will fondly remember how he cared for us and removed the charges, MANY TIMES, unknown by us (we found out later). He used to read our TB tests on our arms during Sunday service some years. When I was diagnosed with Lupus back in 1999, he was a constant encouragement. He gave me the meds I needed and he gave me the Word, as he prayed for me each office visit. He said, Terri you are a walking miracle. I believe that! My family will miss him terribly and we know we'll see him again. Until then, we are holding the entire family in prayer knowing that God is the God of all comfort to those who mourn. Cynthia we love you! He was a life that kept on giving! He served, he worshipped, he gave, he loved. Now he is resting from his labor which was extremely awesome. Now he has the ultimate retirement. WE love you Dr. Stakley - there can be but "ONE". Ministers' John and Terri Stallings and daughter Leilani.

Our family is so sad to hear about Dr. Stakely's passing. We have known him for over 20 years. He is a loving, caring and cheerful person. Always making jokes with my parents when they come in for there appointment. You always know what to do and say to them that they would always go home with smiles on their face. We will never find another doctor like him. We love you and miss you. You will never be forgotten. Prayer's for Dr. Stakely's family and God be with you all.

Our hearts are sadden that Dr Stakley is no longer here, But our hearts rejoice that he is now with our lord and savior.
He was my parent's (Gogo and Tua Vaimili) doctor.
It was his way of making them feel comfortable in every visit. His knowledge in medicine was awesome, but what stood out was his customer service, humility, sense of humor and especially his way of making elderly Samoan parents understand more about their health and what needs to be done to stay healthy. He will be dearly missed in the Samoan community...
Our prayer is that comfort will be upon the Stakley family during this difficult time. Also his awesome team and staff in his Carson office, stay strong as his legacy lives on through your work.

To Mrs. Cynthia Stakley and Family,
I was so sorry to hear that Dr. Stakley had passed away. I am a fellow CCC member and Dr. Stakley’s patient. He was my doctor in the late 1990s and I returned to him in Jan. 2013. He was just as caring and compassionate as always. I could see he was dealing with some health challenge, but Dr. Stakley didn’t allow it to hinder him from caring for his patients. He would not rush you and he listened to you and took notes of what you said. I remember in the 90s, he had asked me why I didn’t come in and have a medical problem taken care of sooner? I was foolish for waiting and replied, “I work in Sun Valley and its hard taking time off from work.” The doctors after him didn’t follow-up on the recommendations of the specialists, so I returned to Dr. Stakley (never should have left). I am very grateful for having known Dr. Stakley as one of his patients. I will miss him.
My prayers go out for you and your family that our Heavenly Father’s love is comforting you in your loss. God truly heals the broken hearted. May He surround you with His lovingkindness and tender mercies. Its good news to know that when we are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord. And death has no victory over us in Christ Jesus.
Keeping you in my prayers
Your sister in Christ,
Lenora Drew

As a college friend of Al's younger brother Ty, I had an occasion many years ago to meet the family at a family BBQ at Al's mother's house in Detroit. I don't remember much from that gathering but what I do remember speaks volumes. I remember the laughter, the hugs, the food, the fellowship... in short, I remember the love. There is nothing greater in our journey here on this side of glory than love. A state of being embraced wholeheartedly by Al and modeled by him for his family.
Blessings to the Stakley family during this very special time.

A Friend, Doctor, Prayer Warrior

I met Dr. Stakley many years ago at Crenshaw Christian Center. I had the awesome opportunity to sit on the Executive Board with him. My family started going to see Dr. Stakley (affectionately called DOC) and found him to be a warm, caring physician who treated the whole person: spirit, soul and body. Doc was a family doctor -- and might I add that there aren't many of them left. He listened to you, prayed for you, and treated your illness. I know God heals and he uses the hands of man to do it. Doc allowed God to use him to treat his patients. He was also an example of Jesus with skin on because he connected with the patients, he showed genuine concern for us, he prayed for us, and he encouraged us. Then he would prescribe what we needed for the illness.
My husband was seeing Doc because of his heart condition, arthritis, and a battle with gout. I recall on one visit that Doc encouraged John and let him know that there are many that have worse cases of gout and their limbs are deformed because of it. He told my husband that he could get through his challenges with his heart and other illnesses by taking his meds, keeping his blood pressure in check and following Doc's simple orders. John highly respected Doc and I think sometimes just went over to the office just to get his opinion and prayer. He always felt lifted when he left Doc's office.
In September 2013 John had a stroke. I called Dr. StaKley and kept him informed of John's progress. When he was released from the nursing home, he went to Doc whenever he was not feeling quite right, and Doc was always there for him. Doc noticed that John was a little depressed, and he gentle and kindly ministered to him to lift his spirits and get him back on track.
We will truly miss the doctor, friend, encourager, and the prayer warrior that Doc was to us. We know he is rejoicing in Heaven because he has an opportunity to see Jesus face to face and he has rewards beyond what we can imagine.
