Mark Cleo Padgett

Mark was born in Grandfield, OK. Following graduation from Jesse H. Jones H.S. in Houston, TX, he enlisted in the Air Force and spent 3 years in England, where he developed his love of darts. After being discharged, he became a piping designer and then a procurement manager working for several engineering companies.

Mark loved people and never met a stranger. He thoroughly enjoyed his vegetable garden, growing beautiful flowers and plants. He loved to travel, cruise, go hunting, fishing and to watch old western and war movies and he especially liked to watch football when his Oklahoma Sooners were playing.

He had a very special collection of shot glasses from all over the world, which is displayed very proudly in his office. He often talked about his favorite dog, an Airedale named Rusty. He loved gumbo and chicken fried steak, but more than anything else in the world, he loved his family with all his heart and soul.

Mark is survived by his wife of 54 years, Lura, sons; Tony Endlich and wife Sandra, Ben Endlich and wife Carmina, daughters; Lacey Blakeway and John, Audra King and husband Nolan, brother Bob Holliday and wife Susie. He had 9 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.
