Steven Wesley Proctor
March 29, 1958 - September 18, 2023
Steven Wesley Proctor, 65, passed away on September 18, 2023, at the Ness County Hospital in Ness City, Kansas. He was born on March 29, 1958, in Amarillo, Texas, the son of James "Jim" and Patricia (McKee) Proctor.
Steve grew up in Guymon, Oklahoma where he earned his Eagle Scout Award and in 1976 graduated from Guymon High School.
Steve never tired of trying new things. He worked in Perryton, TX as an EMT, worked construction and apartment maintenance in Colorado, and he was a firefighter and school bus driver in Guymon. In Wyoming he worked for Micron and drove a semi-truck.
Steve settled in Kansas where he met and married the love of his life.
In Ness City, he drove a school bus for many years and will be dearly missed by the students that rode on the bus with him. Steve loved to meet and visit with people, especially children. Driving the trolly in Dodge City gave him this opportunity.
Steve dearly loved his family, especially his nieces and nephews. Steve will be remembered for all he gave and how little he took.
On Saturday, May 3, 2014, he married Tracy Slagle in Ness City. She survives of the home.
Other survivors include his son, CJ. Proctor of Wyoming; two sisters, Kellie (Dennis) Hudson, Longmont, CO and Trisha (Quentin) Mendenhall, Johnstown, CO; one brother, Jason (Amber) Proctor, Perry, OK; sister-in-law, Verla (Scott) King, Olmitz, KS; 10 nieces and nephews, Kaitlin (Matt) Davis, Megann Hudson, Josh (Dainele) Mendenhall, Keelie (Seth) Smith, Kelton, Kinsey, Kanon, and Karter Proctor, Devon King, and Raegan (Cole) McCurry; and seven great-nieces and nephews, C'Ne, Iba, Lilly, Troy, and Adaline Smith and Harper and Stetson McCurry.
