Rickey Dale Sutton

Rickey Dale Sutton, 64, of Muldrow, passed from this life March 9, 2020 at his home in Muldrow, Oklahoma. He was born April 17, 1955 in Sallisaw, Oklahoma to the late Denton Albert and Bobbie Ruth Woodward Sutton. Rickey worked as a concrete mason after leaving the Navy. He learned the trade from his father, Denton. Rickey’s job as a concrete mason took him away from his family and home, often for extended periods of time. When he returned home, he brought with him wild stories and adventures from life on the road. Rickey had the best sense of humor, and was always able to make you laugh even through the hardest of times. He had a knack for humor and his delivery and comedic timing was always spot on.

Rickey always saw the best in people, and trusted much too easily. When his grandson, Korben, was born his entire world changed. Korben was the light of his life, his best buddy, sidekick and partner in crime.

Rickey is survived by his wife, Dorothy Lynn Sutton; his daughter, Whitney Sutton and son-in-law Jimmy Coughran of Muldrow; his son, Dustin Sutton and daughter-in-law Diane Wilson of Sallisaw; his grandson, Korben Xander Sutton; two brothers, Jerry Sutton of Muldrow and Jimmy Sutton of Ozark, Arkansas; and his favorite niece, Shana Sutton of Spring Creek, Nevada. He was preceded in death by his parents, Denton and Bobbie Sutton; a brother, Gary ‘Pete’ Sutton; and several nephews and a niece.

The family will greet friends and celebrate Rickey’s life beginning at 11:00am Saturday, March 14, 2020 in Edwards Funeral Home Chapel. Family and friends are encouraged to share funny and meaningful stories about his life. Arrangements are under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home Chapel.
