Mr. William Thomas Damron

William Thomas “Tom” Damron, age 90, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2026, in Oklahoma City. Tom was born on April 9, 1936, in Pottawatomie County and graduated from Konawa High School in 1954. He traveled the World over the course of his life building a life defined by hard work, adventure, and deep devotion to his family, and later in life settled down calling Marrero, Louisiana and Midwest City, Oklahoma home. Tom spent most of his career working on offshore drilling rigs in Nigeria, Africa and throughout South America and the Gulf of Mexico. The work was demanding and took him far from home, but it suited his strong work ethic, toughness, and willingness to take on whatever challenge came his way. Before beginning that career, Tom proudly served in the Oklahoma Army National Guard, where he also enjoyed an amateur boxing career that showcased the same grit and determination that would define the rest of his life. Tom had a talent for working with his hands and took pride in creating and fixing things. He loved woodworking, hunting, gardening, and spending time on the golf course. More than anything, he treasured time with his family. Whether he was telling stories, sharing a laugh, or offering one of his memorable opinions, Tom had a way of making every interaction more interesting. To know Tom was to know a true character. He was ornery, witty, and never afraid to say exactly what was on his mind. His sense of humor, stubborn streak, and larger-than-life personality brought laughter and left lasting memories for everyone who knew him. Tom was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Adeline Damron; his sister, Norma Dean Damron; his brother, John Ray Damron; his sister-in-law, Mary Josephine Damron; and his nieces, Norma Ann Damron and Terri Jo Damron. He is survived by his niece, Cathy Lynn Damron; his nephew, Scott G. Damron; and numerous great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom will carry forward the stories, lessons, and memories he leaves behind. Tom will be remembered as a hardworking man with a strong spirit, a sharp sense of humor, and a deep love for his family. He lived life on his own terms, and those who knew him will miss his stories, his laughter, and the unmistakable personality that made him one of a kind.
