Obituary

Memorial service for William H. "Dudley" Kilpatrick, II, 72, Lawton will be at 1:30pm Monday, May 18, 2015 in the Becker-Rabon Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Danny Moss, Hobart, Oklahoma officiating. Mr. Kilpatrick passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at his home. *The family will greet friends Sunday afternoon, May 17, 2015 at the funeral home from 2pm until 4pm.* Arrangements are under the direction of Becker-Rabon Funeral Home. He was born April 12, 1943 in Lawton to William Howard (Charlie) and Joie (Johnson) Kilpatrick. In 1959 his family moved to Enid, Oklahoma. He graduated from Enid High School in 1961. He then returned to Lawton and worked at Easton's Marine, ran the La Sill Milk Company and opened the 2nd Street Ice Dock just to name a few. He later opened Dudley's BBQ while also working as a guide for fishing excursions in Angel Fire, New Mexico. At the time of his passing he was living a simpler life at the homestead he built located in Paradise Valley, where he could be found with his dogs enjoying the sunsets and a cold beer with friends at the Bullpen. He was an avid outdoorsman. He was an accomplished marksman and enjoyed shooting black powder guns, flintlock rifles as well as others. He won many awards for his skills. He spent time making his own fly-fishing lures and was an avid archer who made his own arrows for the English longbow and re-curve bows. He loved to dress the part of a true pioneer as he was committed to reflecting those periods of history. He loved reading about Frontier life, Native American folklore and stories of the American West. Walt Whitman was a favorite poet of his. Bill had the soul of a true mountain man. He had the uncanny ability to tell stories about his hunting and life adventures to his family and friends and above all he will be remembered for his smile that made two little girls feel like the most special people in the world. Survivors include two daughters: America and her husband LTC Scott Fulmer of JBLM, Washington, Amber and her husband Andrew Krizman of Oviedo, Florida, sister Lee Ann Rogers of Norman, Oklahoma, three grandchildren, Megan Adele Krizman, Thomas Wayne Fulmer, Liberty Joie Fulmer, his uncle Allen Johnson of Tulsa, Oklahoma, nephews Eston, Logan and Quinton Rogers and cousins Blake Johnson of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Nick Garrett of Lawton, Oklahoma, Jennifer Garrett Hoffman of Lawton, Oklahoma, R.L. McCrory of New York and John McCrory of Arizona. He was preceded in death by his parents, maternal grandparents: William Herbert Allen Johnson, Virginia Garrett Johnson and Clara Kilgore, paternal grandparents: Howard and Mary Kilpatrick, a cousin John Garrett and his brother-in-law Harold Rogers. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to www.aspca.org/donate or to a charity of the donor's choice.
