Billy Seabolt's Obituary
Billy Seabolt, 95, of Tulsa, OK passed away on November 15, 2024, nine days after the love of his life, Barbara passed away. Born on May 29, 1929 in Nicut, OK, to Willie Lasley and Mossie (Walters) Seabolt, he was a devoted husband to Barbara and a loving father to his children.
Billy spent his early years in Nicut, OK with his grandparents, then his father and stepmother, Ruby, until they moved to Moscow, KS where he learned to drive on the farm. He was sent to Chilocco Indian Agricultural School where he was in a country western band and graduated May 22, 1950. Shortly after graduating he joined the U. S. Army where he was sent to Korea and began operating "Big Equipment". Billy attained the rank of Corporal before he was honorably discharged from active duty. He returned to Oklahoma where he wanted to continue to drive in a commercial capacity, and began driving for Urban Pritchett, then moving to Tom Inman Trucking out of Tulsa, OK. Billy was divorced during this time, raising four children on his own. He met his wife Barbara in Spokane WA who was a single mother of four. They married and she moved her family to Tulsa and one year later added one more child. Billy worked for Tom Inman Trucking for twenty-two years where he was a driver and trained new drivers for the company, including his wife. Stoney and Barbie Doll began working for John Christner Trucking around 1985, where they remained until retirement, earning multiple awards for safe driving and driver of the year. He often told all his children "I've driven more miles backwards than you have driven forward". Billy loved hunting, fishing and being with his family.
