He was born October 30, 1932 in Holdenville, Oklahoma to Willard Cecil Sehorn and Hallie Faye Sehorn.

He served his country proudly for four years and was a veteran of the Korean War.
He was a man with a big heart. Anyone who knew him was considered a friend. He was an amazing storyteller and loved to irritate his grandkids just to see their reactions. He always had a joke or funny story ready tell at a moment's notice. He loved horses and enjoyed going to the riding club. He had a passion for restoring cars. He was a hard worker and was constantly on the go. He always had a pocket of money and made sure Mary had spending money wherever she went. He always treated Mary like she was a queen and made her feel extra special. He was a true gentleman. He was one of the good guys. He never hesitated to help and be there for his family and friends. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
