Wayne Sissom

DECEMBER 13, 1959 – DECEMBER 26, 2020

Floyd “Wayne” Sissom was born on December 13th, 1959 in Hominy, OK the son of Walter Sissom and Priscilla (Price) Sissom-Blair. He grew up with three brothers and one sister, Billy, Bobby, Michael and Anita. He attended school and then decided on a career as a Welder in the construction industry. He loved his work and was very good at what he did daily. He met and married his best friend and closest companion, Victoria Carey. Together they raised a family of three sons and four daughters, Brandon, Ricky, Gary, Shonna, Rebecca, Makayla, and Savanna. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. When he wasn’t working, he was coaching his kids in sports, and he was proud of all their accomplishments. Time away from work was spent in the great outdoors, somewhere on the river, doing a little fishing and camping under the stars. When the weather wasn’t so good, he liked to curl up in his favorite chair and watch westerns. Wayne could be found keeping his kids in line with the occasional “look” and hanging out with his favorite grandchildren, they made him smile. He liked people but there was nothing better than the view from his own front yard, with a cigarette in his hand and a cup of coffee to start the day. Wayne was a Christian by faith, and for all he had planned to do, was called home from his many labors on December 26th, 2020, at his home in Hulbert, OK. He was 61 years old, and leaves a vacant chair that no one can ever fill.

Wayne has gone home to join his mother, Priscilla Price Sissom-Blair, his step-dad, Allen Blair, mother-in-law, Louise Carey and his nephew, Adam Sissom.
