Obituary

Clint Yarholar, 75, of Oklahoma City, passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2026, with his family near his side. Clint’s loved ones would like to express their deep appreciation to the caring staff at Integris Hospice House for helping make his final day peaceful.

Clint was born in Okemah, Oklahoma, on January 30, 1951, to Tom and Sallie Ann (Berryhill) Yarholar. He was deeply rooted in his Creek heritage and spent many hours with family and extended family at Springfield Methodist Church when he was growing up. He attended Okemah High School and remained close with many of his classmates over the years.

In 1971, Clint enlisted in the United States Air Force and proudly served for eight years. His first assignment was Hahn Air Base in Germany, where he met his future wife. After his time in Germany, he was stationed at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota. When he completed his service, he returned home to Oklahoma and spent a couple of years in the Air Force Reserves at Tinker Air Force Base.

Clint later began a long and dedicated 34‑year career with AT&T and has remained friends with many of his coworkers after retirement.

Clint was an avid golfer who loved going anywhere that had an open tee time—especially if the rate was reasonable. He made countless memories on the greens with his golfing buddies, sharing laughs, stories, and friendly competition.

In 1974, Clint married the love of his life, Karen. They were blessed with two children: daughter, Lesley Dawn, and son, Trevor Roy. Clint was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who made sure his family always knew how deeply he loved them. After retiring, he especially enjoyed being available for his grandchildren whenever they needed him.

Clint’s coworkers often joked that he could work all day and never get dirty. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but his memory will live on through the many lives he touched.

Clint was preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Sallie Ann Yarholar, and his brother, Melvin Hicks.

He leaves cherished memories with his wife of 52 years, Karen; Daughter, Lesley Bradley and husband Kyle; Son, Trevor and wife Amiee; Brother In Law, David Lundin wife LauraHis five grandchildren, whom he loved dearly: Braiden, Laikyn, Keiragan, Caiden, and Saige; One great‑granddaughter, Wrenley; Brothers Clarence, Thomas, and Vernon; Sisters Stella and Ethel; As well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
