Buddy Underwood of Wynnewood, Oklahoma was born to Hollis and Pearl (McNeill) Underwood on July 21, 1934, in Elmore City, Oklahoma entered the gates of heaven on April 4, 2022, at the age of 87.
Buddy grew up and attended school at Wynnewood, Oklahoma, graduating in 1952. After graduation, he served in the U. S. Army from 1957 to 1959. On November 20. 1959, Buddy married the love of his life, Sue Martin in Wynnewood. Buddy was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Wynnewood from an early age. He worked for Kerr McGee Refinery for thirty-two years, retiring in 1995.
What started out as just a passion to heal cut horses became one of Buddy's greatest accomplishments on this earth, which became the establishment of Underwood Horse Medicine, a worldwide company. The recipe was passed on from his father and he has since passed it onto his children. His love for animals will live on in the hearts of his family as we continue to meet the high standards that have been set before us. We hope he can look down from heaven and be proud of the company that he built.
Buddy will be remembered as a man of many qualities; his most memorable was his unrelenting love for horses. He was also a man who was devoted to his family, had an unending love for animals, and was loved by many. We rejoice in the fact that he is no longer in pain and suffering on this earth and will be walking the street of glory in heaven with Jesus.
