Gifford Aaron Standing, Big Screaming Eagle (Wamni Tanga Yozhanana), 47, of Wolf Point died Feb. 26, 2025. He was born on Nov. 24, 1977, to Lowell and Irene Standing. He was known to long-time friends and family as “Buttons,” a nickname his grandfather Gifford Standing gave him at the hospital when he was born because of his “button” nose. Like his grandpa Gifford, he could always be found in a crowd by his big, loud laugh. His true gentle nature was seen when working with youth, and he loved all children, especially his son, Dylan Connor, and daughter, Ivoree Standing. Last year, he was engaged to Andrea Jackson. They were set to marry March 13, 2025. He loved sports, fishing, farming, music and people. He especially loved the New York Mets, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Pistons and would yell “THE U” if you were talking about his Miami Hurricanes. By far, his favorite sport was baseball. As a child, his father taught him how to bat with a broomstick and ping pong ball. He played baseball throughout his childhood and high school years and coached for many years, even after hanging up his cleats. A highlight in his coaching career was being the coach for Dylan’s Little League Baseball team. He lived life to the fullest with his fishing adventures, heavy metal concerts and extravagant shoes and baseball hats. He would say he was just a simple guy. However, his collections of expensive shoes, hats and concert memorabilia would say otherwise. His bougie taste even spilled over to his special blends of coffee and bathroom soap that could only be ordered
