David E. Stagner

David Edward Stagner, 62, peacefully passed away into the arms of his Heavenly Father, Friday, March 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving family, at his home in Cape Girardeau.

He was born November 22, 1963, in Cairo, Illinois, to Robert and Carolyn Hughes Stagner. He and Charlotte Clubb were married in September 1989.

David had a master’s degree in business administration and worked many years as a data analyst at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau. He was a member of Cape Bible Chapel in Cape Girardeau and was the lead guitarist with the praise team. David treasured the relationships he shared with his family, church family, and co-workers, but his relationship with the Lord was central in his life.
