Dakota Wayne Abbott

Dakota was born in Ada, OK on January 11, 1991 to Jeffery and Shaena Abbott. He lived in Ada his entire life, graduating from Byng High School, then going on to ECU on a baseball scholarship, and later attending Murray State.

On June 13, 2015 he married the love of his life, Carley in Fitzhugh, OKlahoma. They had two beautiful boys: Caden Wayne (5yrs) and Dayton Lee (6mo).

Dakota was a self-employed truck driver, owning and operating Abbott Trucking LLC for 5 years. He recently started attending H2O Church in 2021 with his family.

To know Dakota was an honor. Dakota loved and he loved big. He cherished his family above anything. Caden is the true definition of a daddy’s boy. He thinks his daddy walked the moon. There weren’t many places you would see Dakota that Caden wouldn’t be with him. Dakota always told Dayton ‘I can’t wait till you get big enough to be right in the middle of everything with your brother’. Dakota had many hobbies. Next to his wife and boys he loved his pride and joy, his semi. There wasn’t a semi he didn’t stop to admire, none were better than his of course. He loved music and often shared his new music finds. He loved his jeep, riding fourwheelers and baseball. You could say his only poor choice in life was being a Yankees fan. Oh he loved to aggravate. He loved to play jokes on everyone and make us smile. Carley would often ask ‘can I mow?’ Where he would give his Dakota look and reply ‘you know I like to mow!’ On the weekends you could find him camping and spending time on his new boat with family and friends. Dakota dreamed of starting his own business and accomplished just that! Dakota loved kids and you could always count on hearing ‘Kota come play with us’ at any gatherings. He had a heart of gold and did not meet a stranger. He never hesitated to give spare change or help someone on the side of the road. I think we can all agree the world would be a much better place if we loved like Dakota. He will truly be missed.

Dakota was preceded in death by his grandparents, Fred Abbott, Linda Abbott, and Ly-Van-Duc, and two cousins, Marty Wilson and Tiffany Barton.
