The Delaware County Board of Commissioners has voted to rename one of the county's popular streets in honor of Dimitrious Stanley.
According to a report from ABC6 in Columbus, Alpine Drive will be called Dimitrious Stanley Way, effective Saturday, July 1, after the former Ohio State wide receiver's death on Feb. 9. The board's action comes three months after it received a petition from Stanley's wife, Jessica, requesting the county change the street's name to honor her late husband.
"A dedicated member of society, Dimitruous' passion in life was to bring more joy and contagious laughter wherever he went," Jessica Stanley wrote in a letter to the board.
