Avant, Oklahoma – The Skiatook Community is grieving the loss of Kasey Griffin, a beloved son, brother, and fiancé, who tragically lost his life in a construction accident on Thursday, September 14th, 2023. Kasey was a cherished member of the community, known for his unwavering work ethic and generosity. His sudden departure has left family and friends devastated.
Kasey Griffin, just 18 years old, was operating a Trupac Roller on North 66th West Avenue near West 61st Street in Tulsa when the accident occurred. The equipment hit an uneven spot on the roadway, causing Griffin to lose control, and it rolled over on its side, ejecting him approximately two feet. He was rushed to a Tulsa hospital in critical condition with head injuries and, sadly, succumbed to his injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Sara Johnson shared Kasey Griffin’s death news through facebook by stating:
