Tommy E. Sheets was born in Geary, Oklahoma to mother, Addie Squires and father, Harry Sheets. On March 17, 2019, at the age of 85, he passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by his family, while a prayer was being said, “Tommy has an eternal date in Heaven with Beverly, his beloved wife.” He grew up in Oklahoma and spent every summer working on his Aunt Billie and Uncle Earl’s farm. He also had a paper route as a boy. He graduated from Lawton High School in 1952. He attended Cameron University and then Oklahoma University, where he graduated with a Petroleum Engineering degree.
