Douglas Wayne Sharpton

Douglas Wayne Sharpton, 60, passed away on September 19, 2026. He was born on May 14, 1966, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, to John Slavens and Connie (Hadley) Sharpton.

Doug was a hardworking man who spent most of his life working as a roofer. He believed in working hard and earning an honest living, and that steady dedication was a defining part of the way he lived. He was also a man of faith. His church was important to him, and he looked forward to the fellowship and activities that came with being part of his church family. Even when life brought difficult times, he kept his spirits up and faced each day with a smile.

Those who knew Doug knew his great sense of humor well. He loved making people laugh, whether through a joke, a funny comment, or simply finding a way to bring a smile to someone’s face. He was the kind of person people could count on, always willing to be there for family and friends. He enjoyed many things in life, including going to the movies, playing cards on Monday nights, talking with his brother Steve on the phone and pranking his cousin Debbie. Most of all, he cherished going to concerts with his daughter. Concerts became something especially meaningful to the two of them, a tradition they shared closely and treasured together.

Doug leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a legacy of love that will continue to live on through all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but the laughter, love, and memories he gave will not be forgotten.

He is survived by his daughter, Jeannie Sharpton; his son, Tyler Sharpton, and Tyler’s wife, Kimberly; his stepdaughter, Valerie Baker; his grandchildren, Cash Sharpton, Adam Sharpton, Callie Jo Sharpton, and Logan Grabowski; and his brother, Steve Sharpton, along with many extended family members who will hold his memory close.

He is preceded in death by his parents, son Adam Sharpton, brother Dale Sharpton, sister April Putnam.
