Billy Pat Halverson was born to Ole B. Halverson and Louise (Ridgeway) Halverson on January 18, 1931 in Byars, OK, and entered eternal life on February 26, 2015 at the age of 84 years. Pat grew up and attended school in Byars, OK. In 1951, after an early life in rodeo, Pat met and married Wynona Dayle Ziller of Pauls Valley, OK. They settled in Oklahoma City where they had two daughters and Pat worked as a machinist for the Daily Oklahoman. In the early 1960’s the family moved to southern California where they lived until 1975 when Pat’s father became too old and frail to continue farm operations in Byars and Pat returned with his family to south central Oklahoma where he lived and worked for the rest of his life. Pat’s hobbies were dancing, golfing, and mowing his lawn ( i.e. golf range) on a Deere. The highlights of Pat’s life were his 45 year marriage, raising his family and enjoying his grandkids. Most importantly he taught his family the meaning of integrity, self reliance, hard work, loyalty and the appreciation of steadfast friends. He made a difference serving as a role model to his family.
