Chenoweth, of the home; his mother, Billie Hurst; one brother, Ron Hurst of Norman; and one sister, Kay Hurst-McCage of Oklahoma City; a niece and nephew; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and very special friend, Dr. Aline Brown, all of whom were of great support.

Honorary bearers will be Donnie Fleming, Michael Freed, Rod Limke, Roy Brown, Stephen Hardway, John Whittmore, J.B. Schuelein, Beau and Wednesday Night Support Group. The family has suggested the RAIN network or the Names Project as appropriate for expressions of sympathy.
