Obituary For Thomas "Bud" Sprowl

MR. THOMAS MACK“BUD” SPROWL – Age 86, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was born September 11th, 1939, in Dalton, Georgia. On July 4th of 2026, while driving to be with family, Tom was involved in a not-at-fault accident that caused severe injuries to his body. He fought and persevered through numerous surgeries, procedures, and regiments while in the Trauma ICU Unit at OU Medical Center to make it back to his family. However, due to the severe injuries that Tom endured, on August 3rd, of 2026, Jesus Christ took him home to be with his heavenly father.

Tom spent most of his professional life in the science communities at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center and the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry’s Histology Labs where he retired. He later drove cars for transfer with Enterprise Rent-a-Car for a few years. Throughout his life, Tom was an avid golfer who won many tournaments in the Oklahoma City area, with the abundance of trophies received, he gave them to his grandchildren to provide an example of his accomplishment and to encourage his grandchildren to achieve their accomplishments. In the month leading up to the accident, Tom would play pick-up rounds with players much younger than him and won.

Tom was the youngest of seven children and he was blessed with a large family of his own whom he cared for greatly as he made them his priority. Tom will be missed by so many family and friends as he touched all of those who he had encountered and left warm impressions with all.

Tom was preceded in death by his wife Myrna Sprowl, his father Harry Sprowl, Sr., his mother Willie Olene “Teddy” Sprowl, his brothers; C.W. Sprowl, Harry Sprowl Jr., Raleigh Sprowl, his sisters; Vivian Pender, Dorothy Willis, and Willie Olene “Tiny” Reynolds.
