WYVON G. MAY

Wyvon G. May, age 76, of Simms, Texas, passed away February 19, 2025.

He was born on December 20, 1948, in Simms, Texas, to Hubert C. May and Ora Nell Grisham May. Wyvon was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who touched the lives of many.

On July 14, 1972 he married the love of his life, June Ross May. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering commitment to one another. Their marriage was a testament to the power of love and faith.

Wyvon proudly served his country in the United States Navy. After his military service, he continued his hard work at Red River Army Depot until his retirement. He was a member of the De Kalb Church of Christ.

Above all, Wyvon loved his family. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his world, and he found his greatest joy in being with them. His presence was a steady source of strength, wisdom, and kindness.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Hubert and Ora Nell May.

He is survived by his beloved wife, June May; two daughters and sons-in-law, April and Josh Higgs of New Boston, Texas, Windy and Skeet Allen of Simms, Texas; one son and daughter-in-law, Karl and Amy May of Simms, Texas; one brother and sister-in-law, Tommy and Jeannie May of Texarkana, Texas; three sisters and brothers-in-law, Brenda and N. E. DeWeber of Seymour, Texas, Linda Kay and Chris Woods of Plano, Texas, and Debbie and Lynn Riner of Naples, Texas.

Wyvon was a proud grandfather to six cherished grandchildren; Tayler and husband, T.J. Gurley, Lindsey and husband, Nick Chrapowicki, Gauge Higgs, Clay Allen, Callie Allen and Laekin May. He also leaves behind numerous extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Christian Brotherhood of Outdoorsman, 57 County Road 4121, Simms, Texas 75574 in honor of Wyvon’s love for faith, family, and the great outdoors.

Memorial services will be 10:00 AM Thursday, February 27, 2025 at the Sand Hill Cemetery Pavilion in Simms, Texas with Buddy Ray officiating.

Cremation is under the direction of Bates Family Funeral Home in De Kalb, Texas.

Wyvon G. May’s sudden passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his legacy of love, service, and devotion will never be forgotten.
