Pat was a devoted father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and a cherished friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, a decision that shaped the way he lived his life.
Known for wearing his signature overalls and ball cap 95% of the time, Pat had a big heart and a simple love for life. He enjoyed watching western movies and listening to old gospel music. One of his favorite traditions was attending the car show in Wilburton every year, where he admired classic cars and enjoyed the tap dancers. Pat was proud of his children-never missing a chance to brag about them-and he adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were truly the light of his life.
He is survived by his children: daughter Michelle Gupton and husband Bill, daughter Patricia Russell and husband Kenneth and son Patrick Wade Skaggs and wife Angela; grandchildren: Brian Skaggs and wife Brenda, Jennifer Wells and husband Chris, Johnny "John" Kennedy and Beth, Derrick Russell and wife Ashley,Theresa Moore and husband Jonathan, Joseph Russell and wife Tina, Josh Russell, Ashley Lirette and husband Kyle, Christian Skaggs, Heather Skaggs, Levi Skaggs, Caleb Skaggs, and Emma Skaggs; great-grandchildren: Abby Campbell, Kyra Kennedy, Cheyenne Russell, Maddi Wein, Addisyn Wells, Ally Skaggs, Kaycn Russell, Crosby Russell, Millie Lirette, and Ruby Russell.
He is also survived by his brothers: Mike Skaggs and David Skaggs.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents, George Wade Skaggs and Lucille Skaggs, his sister Mary Lou Cox, and his brother Joseph "Joe" Skaggs.
Pat lived a life full of simple joys, strong faith, and unconditional love for his family. His stories, laughter, and steady presence will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Though he may no longer walk beside us, his legacy will continue through the lives he touched. We take comfort in knowing he is now at peace, reunited with loved ones, and resting in the arms of his Savior.
