Service: There will be no public service, at his request. He was born Sept. 22, 1934, in Tahlequah, Okla., to Charles Ernest Killingsworth and Estelle Lambert Killingsworth. He was a master mechanic for 60-plus years when he surprisingly decided to retire at the age of 76. He enjoyed tinkering with cars, camping, fishing, two-stepping, telling stories and jokes to his kids and grandkids, and, most recently, playing with his new puppies. He was preceded in death by his father, Ernest Killingsworth; mother, Estelle Lambert Killingsworth; and brother, Sonny Killingsworth. Survivors: His son, Floyd Killingsworth and wife, Diane; daughter, Karin Dedman and husband, Robert; son, Richard Killingsworth and wife, Tracy; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; brother, Charles Killingsworth; sister, Dorothy Sipes; and numerous nieces and nephews.
