Steven R. Uselton

"On Sunday, December 7th 2025, Steve Uselton, loving husband, dad and grandpa was welcomed into his Home in Heaven at age 74.
Steve was born on February 22nd, 1951 in Harrah, Oklahoma to Ervin B. Uselton and Irene C. Uselton. At the age of 18 he married Karen Trotter Uselton and they completed their family with two children at the age of 22. They were together in marriage 56 years.
He worked framing houses with his brothers for many years. He became a Midwest City Firefighter for 26 years and loved every minute of it. He loved the lake, fishing, and spending quality time with his family.
He expressed himself with such clarity and heart that people felt instantly at ease in his presence. He had a rare gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved, whether they had known him for years or had just walked through the door. His laughter-always quick, contagious, and genuine-had a way of lifting spirits, and he was a place of comfort not only for his family but for strangers who soon became friends.
Even though he faced frequent sickness and pain, he never complained. His quiet strength and resilience were part of what made him so deeply admired. He carried his struggles with grace, protecting those he loved from worry and showing each day what true courage looked like.
Those who knew him will forever remember his love of Merle Haggard, whose songs he played proudly and often-much to the playful torment of his grandkids, who could recite every lyric whether they wanted to or not. People were inspired by his energetic personality, his whirlwind presence, and the unmistakable way he could fill a room.
Steve was preceded in death by his father Ervin and his mother Irene, brother Bob Shultz and wife Bessie, sister JoAnn Cantrell and husband Ralph, brother Bill Uselton, brother Bud Uselton and wife Wanda, sister Bonnie Owens and husband Boyd, brother Jerry Uselton and wife Jewel, and brother John Uselton.
He is survived by his wife Karen Uselton, son Stever Uselton, daughter Sharla Flowers and Michael Case, grandchildren Conner Uselton and Mia Harris, Ashlin Flowers, Cameron and Brookelyn Uselton, Preston and Savanna Flowers, Mason Flowers, great grandson Hayes Uselton, and great granddaughter Drew Flowers, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. His celebration of life will be held on Monday, December 15th, 2025 at Nicoma Park First Baptist Church."
