Obituary For Calvin Cryer
Calvin Cryer, loving husband, father, Apo, son, brother, uncle and faithful servant went to be with our Lord on Sunday, December 26, 2021.
Calvin is survived by the love of his life, wife, Liz Cryer; a daughter, Lindsay and her husband Shawn Walraven and grandson, Kelton, all of Veguita, NM; son, James E. Cryer of Los Lunas, NM; grandsons: Tryan and Billy Cryer of Waterflow, NM; mother, Bonnie Cryer of Ardmore, OK; sisters: Debbie Rushing of Ardmore, OK; Vicky Cryer McCaskill of Ardmore, OK; Helen Kyle (Larry) of Lonegrove, OK; Hedy Cryer of Ardmore, OK; and Marsha Cryer Clark (Eric) of Ardmore, OK.
Calvin is preceded in death by his son, Mitchell Weldon Cryer; grandson, Kalvin Alan Walraven; his father, Lonnie Cryer; brother, Terry Cryer of Ardmore, OK; and sister, Linda Conyer of Ardmore, OK; along with so many loved ones that went before him.
Calvin lived his life full of love and had a deep relationship with our Father above. His family was his utmost pride and joy. He loved getting together for gatherings. Calvin could always be seen being silly, laughing, joking around and making memories with whomever he came into contact with. He was the light in the room. Calvin had a knack for listening wholeheartedly when you were having a conversation making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. Calvin was a true cowboy, as gentle as they come, a true gentleman. If you ever needed anything Calvin, was going to be there to help and make the work into fun. Heaven has truly gained a true Cowboy.

Dearest Calvin, where to begin...thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us by spreading joy through your kindness, generosity,faith and the love of family. "Johnny on the spot", "Mister fix-it" always with a smile. We remember him saying; "I love taters and pork chops!" Auntie Liz would say; "I know he would get up at night and sneak a couple more pork chops because there were less pork chops in the morning!" His twinkling eyes, easy smile, big hugs, chuckles and love for dancing with all of us at the many gatherings but especially with his loving wife. We thank you for joining us to celebrate Brianne's wedding. You Calvin in your cowboy hat, long sleeved shirt, jeans, boots and genuine smile will be dearly missed! We know you are at peace with The Lord and surrounded by our loved ones in heaven. Love, Lucy, Lisa, Cheryl and family.
Liz, my heart breaks for u and your beautiful family. May u find peace and and comfort in this sorrowful time. Always, Juanita
