Terry Keith Sutton

Velma- Terry Keith Sutton, 60, of Velma, departed this life on April 3, 2024. He was born on Sept. 11, 1963, in Duncan, to Esther Presgrove. Graduating from Velma-Alma High School in 1981, Terry was a lifelong Comets fan.

He married Kay Ann Hunter on March 25, 1982. The couple made their home in Velma, where they raised their two children, Kole and Keisa. Terry’s passion was horses and rodeo but loved being a proud grandfather more than anything.

Saved as a youth at Velma Baptist Church, Terry rededicated his life to Christ when Kole was saved. They were baptized together. Terry was a faithful member of the Velma Baptist Church.

Terry was a friend to everyone and would go out of his way to help anyone. From years of welding projects to more recently mowing and lawn care services in his spare time, Terry kept busy helping others. He loved OU Sooners football as well as softball, the Dallas Cowboys and George Strait. He was such a music fan that he had more than 15,000 songs on his computer and was known to family and friends as the karaoke king.

The ultimate old cowboy soul, Terry was a competitive team roper most of his life. He was a true American and all that it stood for. He loved a friendly game of poker and any old western movie, especially the TV show, Gunsmoke.

During his career, he worked mostly in the oilfield, including almost 30 years with Citation Oil & Gas.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Gary Van Presgrove, as well as his in-laws, Cameron and Grace Ann Hunter; two brothers-in-law, Kreg Hunter and Gary Glenn.

Terry is survived by his wife, Kay Ann, of the home; children, Kole Sutton and wife Lisa, of Tulsa; Keisa Sutton, of Velma; grandchildren Emma, Kam and Ella Sutton, of Tulsa; Khloe Johnson and Layken Dawson, of Velma; mother, Esther Presgrove, of Velma; sisters, Lynda Clark and husband Calvin, of Comanche; Shirley McCutchen and husband Carl, of Ardmore; brothers, Leslie Presgrove, of Loco; Tommy Presgrove, of Velma; sisters-in-law, Shelley Presgrove, of Velma; Patty Kelly, of Velma; Kim Glenn, of Healdton; brothers-in-law, Kent Hunter and wife Mary, of Lake Kiowa, Texas; Keith Hunter and wife Ronette, of Marietta as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
