Obituary

Mr. Fred William left us unexpectedly in St John’s Hospital on July 3, 2023 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 66.

Fred is survived by his children: Christina Renee Stottlemyre (Steven Lee Stottlemyre) and Donald William “Cody” Craycraft; His grandchildren: Gage Quayton Stottlemyre,
Tristan Kirksey Taylor, Hannah Renee Stottlemyre, Caleb Jordan Stottlemyre, and Sasha Eileen Erdman; an impending army of great-grandchildren: Celeste Noxsi Chapman, Jordan Roxie Knight, Artemis Nyx Stottlemyre; As Well as siblings, Kae Hamilton and Kenneth Paul “Kenny” Casey.

He was preceded in death by his devoted wife, Susie Craycraft, his brother, Bret Craycraft, his mother, Mary Lou Baxter and father, Donald “Gene” Craycraft.

Fred was a complicated individual, he was smart, funny, and had an animal magnetism that seemed to draw people to him.  He would give you the shirt off his back and he always had a good joke or anecdote for anyone willing to listen.  He loved to read, watch movies, and he loved music, all kinds.  Just like the many kinds of music and movies he loved so much, he loved many different kinds of people, who in turn loved him as well.

We are sorry to have lost him so suddenly, though we hope he’s found peace in the next realm, reunited with the one that have fallen before.
