Wendell Suttle Obituary

Wendell Lee Suttle of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, passed away in Tulsa on Monday, February 17, 2025, at the age of 66. He was born on September 7, 1958, in Norman, Oklahoma, to his parents, Paul and Shirley (Bozarth) Suttle.

Wendell grew up in Tulsa and graduated from Union High School. While bowling, he met the love of his life, Kathy, and the two were married for nearly 40 years. Together, they built a life centered around family, hard work, and laughter. The Suttle family owned and operated Suttle Roofing for almost four decades, providing service to homes across the Tulsa area until they sold the company about ten years ago.

Wendell had a love for fishing and an even greater love for his family. He was known for his quick wit, mischievous spirit, and the unexpected, humorous remarks that kept everyone on their toes. His ornery charm and ability to turn any moment into a memorable one will never be forgotten.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy; his children, Judith and husband Robert Salyer, Trena and husband Jesse Payton, Michael Suttle, and daughter in law Stephanie; his 16 grandchildren-Alexis, Natalie, Jason, Caleb, Rylan, Jace, Zachary, Lauren, Bryton, Haylee, Hailey, Hunter, Zander, Zaiden, Krispin, and Lillian; and his four great-grandchildren-Brynlee, Luna, Athena, and Emberlynn. Wendell also leaves behind his brother, Phillip, as well as many other cherished family members and close friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Shirley Suttle, and his brother, Dee.
