The funeral
for Max Choate, 85, will be at 10:00 a.m. Saturday July
3, 2021, at Hennessey High School Auditorium, with Rev.
P.J. Stewart officiating.
Burial will follow at
Hennessey Cemetery under the direction of Cordry-Gritz
Funeral Home.
Max was born at Lacy on April 11, 1936, to Lyndell H.
and Delouris "Dee" Thompson Choate and died Wednesday
June 30, 2021, at his home in Hennessey.
He married
Wanda Thompson in Hennessey on November 25, 1955.
Max was a
caring and generous person. He helped many young people
through the years, helping them establish credit,
loaning money, or giving sound advice.
He played
rough with his children, nieces and nephews, giving them
"eyers", pulling their noses and ears, and they always
came back for more. He taught most of his grandchildren
to drive. He went to football games for his children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren even though he
said he didn't understand or care for the game. He
watched OU and OSU football and some pro teams with
Wanda who is an avid football fan.
Max never
liked a nine to five job. He was happiest when he was
trading horses, tractors, or going to an auction.
Later when
Wanda retired, they enjoyed going camping and riding
horses. Max and his grandson Ryan purchased a ranch
where they rode the razors and had family and friends
come to hunt deer and turkey, fish, or just relax.
Max liked it when people thought he was younger than his
eighty-five years. He was proud to announce to all his
sixty-five years of marriage.
Upon learning of his illness, he gave most of his gun
collection away to family members.
Max is
survived by his wife Wanda of the home; four sons, Kevin
Choate and wife Karen of Enid, Kenny Choate and wife
Terri of Helena, Kelly Choate of Edmond, Kyle Choate and
wife Shannon of Hennessey; one daughter, Kyla Norman and
husband Mark of Enid; seven grandchildren, Sharon Kline,
Brittany Martinez, Blake Choate, Ty Choate, Kylene
Norman, Russ Choate, Ryan Choate; seven
great-grandchildren, Sedona Kline, Rayne Edwards, Rogan
Choate, Khyren Faison, Conrad Martinez, Castian
Martinez, Khloee Sparrow, and one on the way; two
sisters, Marilyn Choate and Margie Light.
Max was
preceded in death by his parents Lyndell and Dee Choate,
and three brothers, Dewayne Choate, Don Choate, and L.D.
Choate.

Research Foundation, with the funeral home serving as
