Kenneth's obituary
Ken was born in 1944 in Claremore, OK, grew up in Sand Springs, OK and graduated from Oklahoma State. He later went on to own and operate Willie’s #3 Drive In restaurant in north Tulsa. He married Leslie Cheney in 1981. Ken was later blessed with retirement in 1998, to enjoy his favorite hobbies of horse racing, watching sports, spending time with his family, and managing his investments (stock market trading).
We will forever miss his incredible sense of humor, intelligence, kindness, compassion, and steady influences. Ken was loved by all who knew him and would tell you himself that he had a wonderful life; read his recent Facebook posts to view his own words.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents Willie J. and Cloeta E. Mullins, brother Jerry Mullins, sister Teri Mullins, and nephew Jay Mullins.
Ken is survived by his wife Leslie Mullins of Owasso, OK; brother Jim and wife Judy Mullins of Sand Springs, OK; sister Joyce and Clay Stewart of Sand Springs, OK; brother Larry and wife Patty Mullins of Sand Springs, OK; sister Sandi Elleman of Sand Springs, and too many nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews to list here.
He is also survived by in-laws Dona Cheney of Rapid City, SD; Ward Jr. and Cathy Cheney of Sand Springs, OK; Harold and Cameron Miller of Rapid City, SD; David and Jamie Holbrook of Rapid City, SD; Scot and Debbie Cheney of Choctaw, OK; Sky Cheney and Britt Lee of Irving, TX; Gene and Lana Brodersen of Fremont, NE; along with too many nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews to list here.
Ken’s parting wish is that everyone feels the same love and happiness that he enjoyed throughout his life.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Iron Gate Tulsa via www.irongatetulsa.org are encouraged.
Ken preferred no funeral and, due to the recent Covid surge, a light and happy Celebration of Life will occur at a later date TBD.
