Steven Lee “Gabby” Beason, 67, passed away on January 2, 2025, at his home in Wister, Oklahoma. Steven “Gabby” was born on October 29, 1957, in Stockton, California to parents Billy Joe and Patricia Ann (Powell) Beason Sr. Gabby was of the Baptist faith. To say Gabby loved the outdoors would be an understatement. He could usually be found tinkering outside with something or manicuring his lawn. Gabby was very proud of his Cherokee heritage. Gabby was a friend to many and never met a stranger, hence his nickname Gabby. Gabby was preceded in death by his parents.
Gabby is survived by his siblings Billy “Krout” Beason and wife Darlene of Wister, Oklahoma, Rickey Beason of Wister, Oklahoma, Sherri Smith and husband Jeff of Poteau, Oklahoma, Traci Bethell of Wister, Oklahoma, and Kelly Turnipseed and husband Shain of Wister, Oklahoma, his special friends Gary Pierson of Howe, Oklahoma and Mary Kovar of Poteau, Oklahoma, along with numerous other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
