Bryce Stanfield’s Parents: Teri and Fred Stanfield
Teri and Fred Stanfield were the parents of just one child, Bryce Stanfield. That is why you can only find photos of Bryce and his accomplishments on his parents’ social media accounts. Previously, in 2021, Bryce went to Disney World with his parents, and the late player shared some photos from their enjoyable vacation. Bryce graduated from Harrison in 2021. Proud dad Fred had posted many images from the graduation ceremony with the caption, “Diploma Time!” Teri released a video clip in September of last year depicting Bryce at age nine wearing Phillies apparel and Bryce in 2023 wearing a Paladins jersey.
Teri created a montage of Bryce from his birth to his final birthday the next day. The Stanfield family may have just visited Disney World since Teri shared these images from the trip. Teri’s friend, April, logged into her account on Wednesday, the day Bryce fell, to inform her that Teri and Fred were with him in the hospital. Teri posted the obituary for Bryce on her Facebook page on Sunday, two days after his death. Furman Head Coach Clay Hendrix stated on behalf of the institution. The statement went on to say, “We are heartbroken beyond measure with Bryce’s sudden passing and ask that everyone, first and foremost, lift up his parents, Fred and Teri Stanfield and their family, in prayer on this day and in the days ahead.”
