He worked in the natural gas industry for 36 years, and retired in 2015 as the Director of Natural Gas Measurement for Chesapeake Energy.
Odie freely gave to those in need, and this continued until the very end, when multiple individuals received the gift of Odie’s decision to be an organ donor. He loved to make others laugh, and he always had a new joke ready. Odie was passionate about baseball, and amazed others with his knowledge of the game. Odie could fix anything that was broken, and he was constantly repairing engines for friends. He was happiest while at the ballpark or gymnasium watching one of his children or grandchildren compete. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, and he always looked forward to his next trip to the mountains of New Mexico. Above all else, Odie loved being with his family and friends, where he was always quick with his warm smile and big hug.
Odie was devoted to his family, and he is survived by his mother, Colleen Quigley of Enid, OK; his son, Brice Quigley and wife Tammy of Enid, OK; and his daughter Miranda Long of Oklahoma City. He was the proud grandfather of Jesse Quigley and wife Miranda, Zakk Quigley, Aubrey Long and Charley Long; and the proud great-grandfather of Grayson Quigley.
Odie was the eldest of five children and he is survived by his two brothers, David Quigley and wife Darla, and Scott Quigley; and two sisters, Susan Corbet and husband Clay, and Sally Lugo and husband Eugene. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and dear friends.
