***Service Date and Time are Currently Pending, Please Check Back Periodically for Updates*** Dwight Anthony Dissler was called home to the Lord June 15, 2018. Found in his home, it was determined that he suffered a heart attack after dealing with medical issues the last few months of his life. He was preceded in death by his father, Ernest W. Dissler (1969) and mother, Mabel Smith Dissler (2006). Those who knew him enjoyed Dwight's engaging company and he epitomized the phrase, "He never met a stranger". Born on June 13, 1953 in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), Dwight enjoyed needling family members that he was the only family member who could boast of dual citizenship. Dwight's three passions in life were music, OU football and politics. An accomplished pianist, he began at an early age playing recitals and served as the St. John Catholic church organist in Bartlesville while attending high school at College High. Dwight spent much of his time playing keyboard with buddies in a band during those years and continued through much of his adult life playing piano professionally and attending concerts featuring various styles of music. He favored playing and listening to pop rock and jazz, and demonstrated amazing recall with the bands of the sixties and seventies. When it came to football, he followed his beloved Sooners and no other team. He liked telling us his blood wasn't red, it was crimson! Often he would pace back and forth when OU found themselves in predicaments on the gridiron, but most of the time, his rants with refs and wearing out carpets pacing was successful.......and he took credit for every victory. During the 1990's, Dwight was active as a political consultant and spent much of his time in Washington D.C. as well as state campaigns. He served as campaign manager for Representative Ernest Istook and with his duties, traveled the state making friends and meeting many political figures. When it came to getting advice about a particular candidate, Dwight was never without an opinion and was always conducting due diligence to find out as much as he could about candidates, public polls, and issues regarding men and women running for office. As mentioned, his hobbies included music and sports, but he also enjoyed collecting sports memorabilia and working with wood. He became quite talented and converted a duplex into a single dwelling located in a neighborhood where he spent 20 years of his life. He additionally served tenure as president of his Home Owners Association. Neighbors found him to be always available and fair with decisions in that capacity. Survivors include maternal first cousin Roy Herron and wife Myrna Jo of Eldon, MO; paternal first cousins Scott M. Kincaid and wife Nancy of Kansas City, MO; Lairie L. Kincaid and wife Debe of Texarkana, TX; Michael A. Kincaid and wife Lynn of Bixby, OK and a host of friends and extended family members.
