Louie Caplin "Cap" Baxter, Jr., 75 passed away on January 31, 2017, after a brief battle with lung cancer. Cap was born in Fort Worth, TX, to Caromae Reese and L.C. Baxter on December 30, 1941. He graduated from Edison High School in 1960. Cap and Linda married in 1961 and Cap went on to earn a business degree from Northeastern State University. He worked in medical supply sales until his retirement. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing and hunting. Spending time at his RV at Grand Lake was a favorite getaway. Just coffee, coneys, burgers, a few laughs with friends, and life was good. Family was a priority in Cap's life and being around his children and grandchildren were always fun times for him. After retiring, he volunteered for Little Lighthouse, Reading Partners and helped foster dogs with Rescued 'n Ready Animal Foundation. Cap is survived by his wife of 55 years, Linda, of Tulsa, daughters Ashley Baxter of Mandeville, LA, Tracey Gutman (Jeff) of The Woodlands, TX, son Cap Baxter III of Kohler, WI, son-in-law Ron Lohr of Dallas, TX, nine grandchildren, brother Tom Baxter of Independence, KY, his beloved canine companions, Squeaky and Bentley and the many rescue dogs he helped foster. He is preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Darci Lohr. Cap will be missed by his family, many friends, and all whose lives he touched. His family is grateful to Hospice of Green Country and Clarehouse for their care.
