Stacey Ray Flora

Stacey Ray Flora, age 54, passed away on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. Born in Nash County, NC on March 23, 1967, he was the son of the late Alton Ray Flora.

A member of Shenandoah Baptist Church, Stacey was a Deacon and was very involved in the church’s Children’s Ministry. Known for spending time enjoying many hobbies, he especially enjoyed casting a line out hoping to catch the big one that got away, tending to his bees as a dedicated bee keeper, and having in depth conversations with family and friends in his quest to solve all the world’s problems. Never one to turn down an opportunity to give the shirt off of his own back to someone in need, Stacey was even more known and respected for his generosity, big heart, and larger than life personality. Together he and his wife, Amanda, owned and operated Carolina Jewelry, Pawn, and Gun store in Rocky Mount, where he was a well established jeweler. A dedicated, loyal, and loving husband, caring father, son, brother, uncle, and dear friend to many, Stacey will be forever missed and never forgotten.

Stacey is survived by his wife, best friend, and soul mate of 34 years, Amanda Marie Trauch Flora of Nashville; his daughters, Rachel Flora of Wilson and Alex Flora Robinson and her husband, Jacob of Rocky Mount; his mother Betty Flora Langley; his brother, Jamie Flora and his wife, Sherry of Rocky Mount; his nieces and nephews, Liz Flora, Trent Flora, Brittany and Jeff DeValle, Katelyn and Jason Ossman, Elizabeth and Jared Trauch, Megan Trauch, Sydney Schweitzer, Tradd Schweitzer, Victoria Schweitzer and great nephews; Parker Ossman and Stephen Trauch; brother-in-law’s, Matt Trauch and his wife, Jennifer and Joe Schweitzer and his wife, Heather; mother and father-in-law, Jack and Susan Trauch.
