Tommy Lee Kreps was born November 16, 1961 to Melvin and Patty Kreps in Bristow, Oklahoma.  He departed this life April 15, 2023 at the age of 61 years.

Tommy, a 1980 graduate of Bristow High School, remained a Bristow area resident most all his life.  He was a painter by trade but also worked in many areas of home construction.  As a child growing up, Tommy attended First Baptist Church in Bristow with his family.  He was a man who loved being outdoors and a part of nature.  Camping was an activity Tommy enjoyed.  Time was always made for hunting and fishing, but family always came first.  Tommy's quick wit and humor brought many smiles followed by laughter to all.
