Bennie Duane Pittman Jr.

Bennie Duane Pittman Jr. was born July 21, 1952 to Grace (Redeagle) Pittman and Beenie Duane Pittman Sr. in Abilene, Texas. He was very proud of his Muscogee (Creek) Nation and Quapaw Citizenship. At the time of his birth, the Redeagle family had many acres of American Indian rollee allotments throughout Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Throughout the years to follow, Bennie would inherit those Indian royalties. Bennie went to work at the age of 14 feeding over 200 hogs before and after school and owned an old hay truck used for hauling hay during the summer months. His first true love was his car, a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396. He went to work for Egan Manufacturing Company in 1970. He met the girl of his dreams in 1968 when she came from Wainwright to go to school at Oktaha in the 8th grade. Bennie graduated from Oktaha High School in 1971. Bennie asked Donna Kay Miller to marry him in 1971. They were married on October 6, 1972 at the Wainwright Baptist Church in Wainwright, Oklahoma. They were married for 48 years. In1973, after learning Donna was pregnant with their first child, he went to work for Acme Engineering and asked the personnel manager, Roy Brown, for a better paying job. Bennie went to work at Acme Engineering on October 10, 1973 and worked there until March 2006. After 33 years of dedicated work attendance, we laughed because he did not even get a watch or anything of remembrance for his service upon retirement. In 2006, Bennie Jr and Bennie III went back to school at Indian Capital Technology Center and became armed security officers. Bennie then began his new career. He loved working at various venues as a security officer. In 2009, he became an armed security officer for Homeland Security at the VA Call Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma until his death on February 2, 2026. The joys of his life were his mother, wife, and the births of his sons and his grandsons. The first son born was Bennie Duane Pittman III born Thursday, April 25, 1974; second born son was Jesse Therman Pittman born on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, 1976; and third born son was Joe Eagletayl Pittman born on Tuesday, March 7, 1980. The first grandson born was Taylor Ford Pittman born June 6, 1999; second grandson, Tanner Fox Pittman born April 3, 2001; and the third grandson, Trapper Folson Pittman Born December 17, 2003. Bennie was preceded in death by his grandparents, John Doane and Annie Redeagle, Earl Pittman and Captola (Alexander) Green; mother, Grace (Redeagle) Pittman; father, Bennie Pittman Sr; his three sons, Bennie Duane III, Jesse Therman in 1979, and Joe Redeagle in 1991; his loving wife of 48 years, Donna Kay Pittman; father-in-law, Elza T. “Buck” Miller; mother-in-law, Susie (Taylor) Miller; and aunt, Lena (Tudy) Skaggs. He is survived by his grandchildren, Taylor Pittman and wife Kelly of Oktaha, Tanner Pittman of Sapulpa, and Trapper Pittman and wife Chelbie of Oktaha; sisters-in-law, Glenna and husband Jerry, Beverly and husband David; and a very special cousin, Dickie Ellison; along with other family members and friends. No services are planned at this time.
