Robert Leon "Butch" Huskey, Jr. passed away on Friday, August 14, 2026, at the age of 54.

Butch was born on November 10, 1971, in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He was raised in both Anadarko and Lawton, Oklahoma and graduated from Eisenhower High School in Lawton in 1989. He shined as an athlete and earned several honors in high school, including All-State awards in both football and baseball. He was drafted by the New York Mets at age 17, and he spent the next thirteen years playing for the Mets, along with a couple of other Major League Baseball teams.

Butch loved his family and friends with all his heart. His world revolved around those he loved, the players he coached, and talking sports. His passion was coaching baseball and softball to young people. His favorite place to be was at the field or at the batting cage. He spent his free time at the lake fishing or at the golf course.

He is survived by his wife, Kristy Huskey; his son, Bryce Beckett; his daughters, Kennedy Huskey and Kyrbi Huskey; a grandson, Isaiah Beckett; his step-mother, Patricia Huskey; his sisters, Shelly Herrera and her husband, Robert, Deena Charity, and Tracy Leavell; his brother Michael Miller; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Phyllis Mayo; his father, Robert Huskey; his sisters, Shaneeka Mayo and Tiffany Mayo Holmes, and his brother-in-law, Preston Charity Jr.
