Service held for Kirk Francis Mclendon

Kirk Francis McClendon (Bones) made his departure on August 21, 2022, signing off on a life generally well-lived and with few regrets. God broke the mold after Kirk was born to the late Francis Hunter McClendon and Margaret Ruth McClendon on May 22, 1962, in Antlers, Oklahoma at the Pushmataha Hospital. He attended Atoka High School and graduated in 1980. Kirk, with his keen wit and quick mind was always up to mischief with his favorite pastime in life being a prank he could pull often at the expense of his favorite “people”. He had the closest group of “wingmen” who always had his back throughout life and to the end regardless of the practical jokes. Kirk at the age of 14 went to work at Atoka Sale Barn for Dr. McDonald where he practically begged for the job from the “Doc” by telling Doc he would never see another cow escape the headgate if he hired him. It became a personal challenge for Doc to find the meanest and fastest cow to put through the headgate and 10 years and high school passed with this contest enduring.
