Terry Lee "Tubby" Battenfield of Tulsa, OK passed from this life Saturday, October 14, 2023 at Ascension St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, OK. He was 61.
Terry was born January 14, 1962 in Tahlequah, OK to Laroy and Mable (Long) Battenfield. He had lived in Tulsa for the past 5 years moving from Miami where he had lived since 1969, when his dad started working at B.F. Goodrich. He graduated from Miami High School Class of 1980. He loved bowling and while in high school he worked at Playland Lanes with Rick Stewart and his family. After high school he went to truck driving school and worked for C.F.I. Trucking and other companies for several years. He was a member of Miami Elks Lodge #1320 and the Brother-In-Laws.
Terry loved riding his motorcycles and loved his family, especially the nieces and nephews whom he pestered all the time and they loved it. In 2017 Terry was in an accident which caused a severe brain injury and was in Tulsa for the last several years. During this time his family brought him home once a month to visit and eat hot fudge sundaes, which was his favorite. He had a tough exterior but had a heart of gold and would help anyone in need. We will love and miss him always.
