Michael Wesley Bassett was born on July 21, 1949 to Wesley James and Vera Margaret (Geddes) Bassett in Woodward, Oklahoma. Mike attended school in Woodward and graduated from Woodward High School with the class of 1967. He then attended Okmulgee Tech. Mike began his career in the oilfield working for Dowell. During his career he worked for various oilfield companies, working his way up to become a Drilling Completion Consultant. In 1983, Mike began dating Cindy (Pilcher) Harrison, and in 1994 Mike and Cindy were married in Red River, New Mexico. Mike and Cindy made their home south of Woodward. Upon marring Cindy, Mike inherited two step-sons, Chad and Jason Harrison, which he thought of as his own.
In 1995, Mike bought a couple longhorn cows and calves. Since then his heard has grown to over 30 animals. Mike enjoyed nothing more than going out to feed his longhorns and would sometimes sit there for hours just watching them. Mike’s other passion was fishing. He loved to go to Hot Springs, Arkansas to go striper fishing. Mike even bought a condo so he could go over whenever he wanted to get away.
His greatest joy were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he loved to spoil them any way he could. He loved to go watch them play in their various sports. Mike was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his first great-grandson.
