In Memoriam: Paul Branch

It is with deep sorrow that the City of Drumright announces the passing of Paul Branch, former City Manager and Mayor. Paul dedicated decades of his life to serving our community in numerous roles, always striving to make Drumright a better place for all.

Among his many accomplishments, Paul was particularly proud of overseeing the transition of our gas infrastructure from steel to poly piping. This vital upgrade dramatically reduced our loss rate and resulted in significant, ongoing cost savings for the city — a legacy that continues to benefit us today.

Paul’s leadership, dedication, and forward-thinking approach left a lasting impact on Drumright. We are grateful for his years of service and commitment to our community. He will be deeply missed.
