Floyd Andrew Hathcoat

Floyd Andrew Hathcoat spent his later years in the rural hills near Henryetta, Oklahoma, where he was known as a longtime resident of the Tiger Mountain area of McIntosh County. Public records identify him as 73 years old at the time of his death on August 5, 2016. While few public notices or family-published obituaries are available, local reporting and official records show Mr. Hathcoat lived in a close-knit rural setting where neighbors were attentive to one another.

Those public accounts describe a quiet life in the country — a place defined by acres, close community ties, and the rhythms of rural Oklahoma. People who live in such areas are often remembered by neighbors for everyday kindnesses and practical help; while specific personal details about Mr. Hathcoat’s work, hobbies, or family are not published in the sources located, the record shows he was a presence in the Henryetta/McIntosh County community for many years.

The discovery of his death in August 2016 touched the small local community and drew the attention of state and federal authorities because of the circumstances reported by law enforcement. Out of respect for the privacy of surviving family and friends, this remembrance emphasizes Mr. Hathcoat’s identity as a long-time local resident rather than the events surrounding his death.

Although limited public information is available about his life beyond place and age, Floyd Andrew Hathcoat should be remembered as an individual who belonged to a particular Oklahoma place and community. That anchoring in a rural community — neighbors, landscapes, and ordinary days — is a meaningful part of how many who knew him would recall him. This page honors his existence, acknowledges the loss felt by those who knew him, and recognizes that public records capture only a portion of a life lived among family, friends, and neighbors.
