William Compton

William Richard Compton "Rickey", age 58, slipped away on September 17, 2015 at his home in OKC. Rick was born on Feb 27, 1957 to Sue Carolyn Jones and William Atlas Compton. Growing up, his closest companions were his grandmother, Anna Mae Jones and his sister Vicki. In 1975, Rick joined the U.S. Marine Corps where he was stationed in Italy for the majority of his military career. Throughout his life, Rick enjoyed spending time with his 3 children, including raising his perfect baby girl, Marley. In addition, he loved playing billiards, spending time with his surplus of friends, and being a talented golfer. In his later years, he fell madly in love with his grandchildren and spent his time doting on them. Rick was as hard a worker as there has ever been. He began his career as a heat and air contractor with his stepfather Bill, owning Air Control Service Co, Inc. since 1984. Rickey worked up until his very last moments. Rick is survived by his stepfather, William Augustus Miller of OKC; stepmother, Barbara Compton of Mustang; daughter, Kali DeYager of Edmond; son, Chip Compton of OKC; daughter, Marley Compton of OKC; sisters, Vicki Mihelich and Dana Miller of OKC; brothers, David Miller of OKC, and Michael & Brian Compton of Mustang. Also, his 3 grandchildren: Aubri, Tripp & Charli of Edmond. Tragically, Rick was preceded in death, literally within minutes by his newest granddaughter, Harper Dianne Compton of OKC. He is so painfully missed, already. Flowers can be sent to the Chapel through Morrison Floral Company (405) 789-1622.
