Preach was born Feb 24, 1921 in Katie, OK to the late Lee A. & Velma E. (Bruner) Carter. He died Saturday, Nov 1, 2014 in Moore, at the age of 93 years, 8 months and 7 days.

Preach grew up in the Hennepin area and attended Woodland School, formerly known as Gooseneck. Early in his career, he worked as a dozer operator, building many of the highways associated with the Talimena Drive in eastern Oklahoma. He later spent 25+ years working as a pumper for Post Petroleum, retiring in the early 1990’s. Throughout his entire life, Preach farmed and raised cattle. He was an avid fisherman and “only” went fishing every chance he found. Often times you would find Preach fishing with Peggy by his side, crocheting. In his spare time Preach also enjoyed bee hunting and squirrel hunting in the Arbuckles and raising large gardens. Preach was a very devoted member of the Hennepin United Pentecostal Church, where he very frequently praised the Lord with his voice in music.
