July 24, 1996 — June 12, 2016
Ezekiel Leslie Tennyson, 19, of Foyil, died on Sunday, June 12, 2016, suddenly and unexpectedly.
He was born on July 24, 1996, in Claremore, to Wesley Mark and Karelee Leslie (Turner) Tennyson.
He attended Foyil Public Schools, graduating in 2015. He graduated in May 2016 from the Auto Tech program at Northeastern Technology Center in Pryor, and was employed at Jack Kissee Ford in Claremore.
As a sophomore at Foyil, he played a season of basketball. He was also on the academic team. He loved to fish and work around the house with his dad. He enjoyed listening to his favorite music and watching documentaries but he loved action films as well.
He had a mischievous smile that made you wonder what he was thinking of doing next. Fireworks were of particular interest to him. He had a love of cars which he pursued as a graduate of the NTC Auto Tech program and later as an employee of Jack Kissee Ford. He was very respectful and a hard worker. His friends and family all called him Zeke.
Zeke was a very sweet young man. He was adored by his family and will be missed by all who knew him.
