He was born the middle child of Jasper and Lucille Hatley in Northeast Texas in the little community of Dike, Texas on February 03, 1937.

From a very early age, he displayed a strong mechanical ability and loved to build things. He always loved learning and teaching people how to better their life.

He began his teaching career in secondary education in New Braunfels, Texas in 1959 and retired from Texas A&M University at Galveston in 1989 as an Associate Professor.

From this union, they were blessed with three sons of which he was so very proud and seven grandchildren whom he cherished. He is preceded in death by twin grandsons.
He is survived by his wife, Audrey Hatley; sons, Stan Hatley and wife, Linda, of Alvin, Texas, Brett Hatley of Sugar Land, Texas, and Dustin Hatley of Humble, Texas; his grandchildren, Stevie Cuellar, Angela Hatley, Austin Hatley, Brett Hatley, Jr, and Amanda Hatley and seven great grandchildren.
