Chester Lea Buchanan
June 23, 1931 — January 2, 2022
Chester Lea Buchanan was reunited with his Rosebud in their heavenly home on January 2, 2022. Chester was born June 23, 1931 in Roosevelt, Oklahoma to Henry and Lucille Buchanan. He graduated from Cooperton High School in 1949. Chester roped in the love of his life Barbara Rae Sommers from Saddle Mountain. They were united in marriage September 6, 1953 at the Holy City in the Wichita
Mountains. Chester and Barbara attended Cameron College and went onto Oklahoma A & M (Go OSU!) where they graduated in 1954. Chester was a proud fraternity brother of Alpha Gamma Ro and a member of the ROTC at OSU. After graduation, he was stationed in Germany as a First Lieutenant where he and Barbara enjoyed traveling through Europe. In 1956 they returned to Cooperton Valley to farm and ranch for an inseparable 67 years. They had 3 children Mallory, Mert & Max. Chester spent many hours teaching his children how to farm and raise cattle, but he probably spent more time keeping them out of mischief. Chester loved his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved buying and selling cattle, betting on the winning horse at the races, visiting on the porch, and watching the OSU cowboys. Chester loved life and never met a stranger, but most of all he adored his Rosebud and taught us all the true
meaning of "till death do us part".
He was proceeded in death by Barbara, his parents, siblings; Stanley Buchanan, Peggy Albright, Rex Buchanan and Pat Buchanan, and son-in-law Brad Davis.
He is survived by his children:
Mallory Davis
