Curtis Wayne Lawless, 72, passed away Tuesday, January 31st, 2017 at his home in Antlers, Oklahoma.
Curtis was born March
1st, 1944 to Wayne and Sirena Hensley Lawless in Ethel
Oklahoma, the only son and oldest of 6 children. He
graduated from Antlers High School in 1961. He attended
college for some time at Eastern Oklahoma State at
Wilburton, but decided to cut his education short to marry
his high school sweetheart, Lena Faye Wade. Curtis married
his beautiful bride on July 15th, 1963, and they remained in
the Antlers area to raise their family.
Over his life, Curtis had several careers: he was a rancher
throughout his life; he was a truck driver; he was a sawyer;
he retired from the Antlers Volunteer Fire Department and
the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. But more importantly, he
was a Christian husband, father and friend. Curtis loved the
Lord and the Lord�s creation, spending much of his time in
the garden or in the woods. He was a humble man who would go
out of his way to help anyone in need. He worked hard all
his life and gave his all at whatever endeavor he took on.
He believed in both living up to our God given
responsibilities and defending our God given freedoms that
have been given to all, and he set that example for his
family and all who knew him.
Curtis is survived by his wife, Lena; son Brian (Donna)
Lawless; daughter Rebecca (Todd) Crawford; son Jason (Sari)
Lawless; grandsons Thomas, John and Jackson Lawless, and Wil
Crawford; granddaughters Jaci and Shelby Lawless, and
Elizabeth Crawford; and great-grandson Maddox Shaver;
sisters Barbara (Mike) Nabors, Mary (Mark) Virden, Charlotte
Lawless, Connie (Jesse) Moses and Donna (Tim) Stone; and
numerous cousins, nephews, nieces, friends and extended
family.
Curtis was preceded in death by his parents.
