Interment followed in Lakeview Cemetery, Marietta.
Born August 25, 1953 at Gainesville, Texas, the son of Oscar Eugene and Myrtie Jo Shilling Minyard, he died Thursday, November 28, 2019 in Oklahoma City. Dickie’s family, his work and being outdoors were the joys of his life. Dickie and Patti Wolfe were high school sweethearts and were married for 45 years. He loved the oilfield, holding many different positions, but particularly enjoyed his work as a Pipe Recovery Specialist or more commonly known as a “Fisherman” for Armstrong Tool and Supply. He ultimately achieved the position of Region Manager and Technical Fishing Tool Specialist in the Mid-Continent and Appalachian Basins for Weatherford International. Dickie loved hunting, gardening, mowing his lawn, spending time with family and friends, making fires in his chimenea, and “spinning a tale” that all could enjoy. He had a wonderful sense of humor and always had a joke or story to share. Dickie loved animals and was particularly fond of his “grand-dog,” Frank. He was a member of the Marietta First Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his father, Oscar Minyard; an infant sister, Kimala Minyard; and his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Betty and Bill Wolfe.
Survivors include his wife, Patti of the home in Marietta; son, Matt Minyard of Yukon; daughter, Elizabeth Litts and husband David of Yukon; mother, Myrtie Jo Minyard of Marietta; siblings, Donnie Minyard and partner Lee Totzke of Marietta, Davie Minyard and wife Anna of Yukon, Derrie Minyard and wife Lora of Marietta, Raulita Wade and husband David of Moore, and Dannie Minyard of Marietta.
Serving as pallbearers were David Litts, David Wade, Kyle Minyard, Harry Horblitt, Lee Totzke and Kim Beshears.
The family requests memorial contributions be made in Dickie’s memory to the Love County Friends of the Library.
