Stan Cadwallader is an American firefighter who rose to fame for his relationship with the late comedian Jim Nabors. The two wonderful couples were together for over 38 years but were sadly separated by the death of Nabors in 2017. Jim is a notable name in American comedy history. Despite his death, he will be long remembered through his work on The Andy Griffith Show.

While Stan only gained attention for his relationship with Jim Nabors, he too played a vital role as a firefighter. He might be retired now, but Cadwallader has saved a lot of lives in his career. Now let us know a bit more about him, shall we?

STAN CADWALLADER: EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION, AND CAREER

Stan Cadwallader was born in 1948 in Honolulu, USA. He was born to parents of white ethnicity and holds American citizenship. While there’s very little to share regarding Cadwallader’s early years, we do know that from an early age he was committed to helping people.

With a helping spirit in his heart, Stan then started working as a firefighter in his hometown. Over the years, he continued to save several lives while risking his own. Stan spent several decades working as a firefighter with the Honolulu Fire Department before finally retiring. Stan’s work deserves a lot of recognition, but he’s not an attention-seeking man. His only real commitment was to help people to the best of his abilities.

STAN CADWALLADER: PERSONAL LIFE

Looking now at the personal aspects of Cadwallader’s life, he first met Nabors in 1975 while working in Honolulu. The two quickly became close friends and started dating. Reports suggest that Stan and Jim took it slow, but this stable relationship lasted 38 more years.

Although they had been together for several years, Stan and Jim could not marry, as gay marriage was illegal at that time. However, in 2012 things got better. Gay marriage was legalized in Washington and they were able to get married. The two said their vows on January 13, 2013. Stan was 64 while his partner Nabors was 84. We learned that it was a private ceremony at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel attended by a few close friends and family. Sadly, on November 30, 2017, Jim passed away at their home in Hawaii due to his age.

STAN CADWALLADER: FORTUNE

Stan has made a significant amount of money from his firefighting career. However, he does not like to share this aspect of his life with the media. Her late partner, Jim, on the other hand, had a net worth of $15 million. Obviously, Stan now owns a large portion of Jim’s fortune and now lives a life full of luxury. As of 2019, Cadwallader resides in Honolulu, Hawaii and we wish him well with his future.
