Bryce Matteson, longtime board member, passes away.

The OU Club Board of directors was shocked and saddened by this post from Bryce’s wife, Debbie, and his daughters.
 
 
“We are sad to share that Bryce/Dad passed away suddenly on Wednesday, March 31, due to a short, unknown battle with AML (acute myeloid leukemia). To say we are in shock is an understatement. We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support we have received. Please keep our family in your prayers.”
 
For years Byrce served as our scholarship chair working with the university and Kansas high schools to select OU-bound students for our club scholarships.
His love for OU was massive and we will miss him.

Bryce Matteson – My Sooner Story

Meet Bryce Matteson. He’s an original board member and an unabashed Sooner fan. How did he get that way? This is his story.
Sadly, on March 31, 2021, Bryce passed away after a battle with cancer. We leave this video in place to honor him and remember his passion for the University of Oklahoma. Live on, University.

Kelly Pappan – My Sooner Story
