Skylar Zane Hammer-Pendergraft, 20, of Piedmont, Oklahoma, has departed this world and has been called home on Tuesday, October 30, 2018. Skylar was born in Enid, Oklahoma on December 26, 1997 to Brent Pendergraft and Vanessa Hammer. He attended schools in Piedmont, Choctaw, and Canadian Valley Technology Center, in which he was pursuing a career as a diesel mechanic. Skylar was a loving son and brother, a dedicated boyfriend and wonderful friend to all.
While Skylar had many hobbies, his absolute passion was being outdoors. From hunting, fishing, riding his four-wheelers and dirt bikes, or even just spending his time with friends and family at Canton Lake. If he wasn’t playing his Xbox, you could always find him looking for something to do outside. Skylar also loved spending time with his dog, Bentley Wayne and Grayson the cat. He cherished his moments he had with his girlfriend, Jordan Johnson, whom he would often call his “little ground squirrel” and he was so very proud when it came time to move into his first new apartment with her. He loved being an independent adult as they began their lives together. Skylar was a part of the Boy Scouts growing up and attended Life Church.
Skylar wasn’t like just any other ordinary kid. He was unique and always his authentic self. His laugh was contagious and his quirky smile could light up an entire room. He could talk to anyone and never knew a stranger. Greeting his friends and family with a hug and leaving them with an “I love you”, was his routine; he will truly be missed by all.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Jack Hammer.
Skylar is survived by his father, Brent Pendergraft and wife Haley; mother, Vanessa Hammer; significant other, Jordan Johnson; brothers, Jake Ward and Dylan Ward of Choctaw, OK; sisters, Mazie Hammer of Piedmont, OK and Savanna Pendergraft of Choctaw, OK; grandparents, Teresa Hammer, Sharon Gudan, Michael Gudan, Mark Pendergraft, and Kim Pendergraft.
A celebration of life will be held in honor of Skylar’s life on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at the CHK|Central Boathouse, 732 Riversport Dr., Oklahoma City, OK 73129.
