After graduating from Sallisaw High School in 1973 he went on to study at Oklahoma Baptist University. He mastered the guitar, from country western, classical to flamenco, and in most recent years found much joy playing and teaching the dulcimer.
In his early years this devotion took him to England and Wales, to research church history. He was an elder of Welsh Tract Old School Baptist Church in Newark, Del., where he led services and online bible studies.
He is survived by his mother, Polly Anna Lackey, of Sallisaw; two aunts; and numerous other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father; and wife, Pat Lackey.
