Arvin Wood

Arvin Truitt Wood was born on October 10th, 1944 in Richmond, California to Leon Douglas and Ruby Juanita Wood. After losing his parents at a young age, a special man named Richard Bonner took him in and offered his home to Arvin. Arvin then enlisted in the Army and served for 2 years until he was discharged and began the civilian life. He married the love of his life, Paula in 1981 and spent the next 30 years with her. Arvin resided in the Oklahoma City area until 1990, when he became a resident of the Greasy Community. Arvin loved the country life. Looking out his backdoor, seeing all of the deer, turkeys, and any other wildlife that may be seen, never got old to him.

Arvin had many trades that included a Volkswagen mechanic, carpenter, truck driver, and many more. If there was something to be fixed he found a way If anything was broken, the grandkids knew where to take it to be fixed. We could also say he was a comedian It was always his intent to get a laugh out of whoever may be around

Arvin loved to fish He was known to outfish many of his friends and family and even told his soninlaw, Joshua, that he would never tell him, nor anyone else his secrets If there was an early morning that you couldnt find him, it was guaranteed that he was already up and at one of his favorite fishing holes.

Family was Arvins passion. He cherished every opportunity to spend time with his family. Anyone who knew him also knew all about the kids and grandkids. It was uncommon to see him out and about and not hear about what the grandkids were up to. If any of them had a track meet, program, ballgame, or birthday party, you could bet you would see Arvin there.

Arvin is survived by his sister: Rebecca Wood Smith 4 children, Jeri Renae, Michael and wifetobe Jennifer, Adrienne and husband BJ, and Julie and husband Joshua 15 grandchildren, Joshua, Laura, Jerad, Malachi, Taylor, Aiden, Billy, Corbin, Gracie, Arayah, Trinity, King, Kaden, Traegen, and Kotton 7 Greatgrandchildren, Rylee, Cheyenne, Chante, Jacob, Brianna, Kylee, and Devynn and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
