Kenneth Dale
Crittenden, 55, of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, passed away on Monday, November 18,
2019 at Mercy Hospital in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.
Dale was born in Siloam
Springs, Arkansas on June 1, 1964 to Herman Jay and Ina Jo Crittenden.
He is survived
by his brother, Cecil Leon Crittenden of Westville, sister, Carol J.
Montgomery of Gentry, Ark., sister: Judy K Crawford and husband Michael of
Gentry, Ark. and several nieces and nephew.
Dale graduated
from Westville in 1982 and attended college at NSU, where he earned his
bachelor’s degree in education. Upon graduating from NSU, he took his first
teaching position at Haskell Indian Junior College in Lawrence, Kansas.
After leaving Haskell, he moved to Bloomfield, New Mexico. He spent several
years there before returning to Oklahoma. He taught history, summer drivers’
education and coached football at several different Oklahoma schools.
During his off
time of school, he spent his time working as groundskeeper at Southern Hills
Golf Course, which turned into a passion of keeping his yard and his
sister’s yards weed free.
After
stressful summers teaching driver’s education, he retreated to Colorado for
four wheeling and camping in the mountains.
Dale loved
hunting, keeping his yard weed free and spending time with his family. His
nieces and nephew were his joy in life. He will be deeply missed by all.
Funeral
services were held Friday, November 22, 2019 at Impact Church, Westville
