The Bryan County community is grappling with a profound loss following a tragic crash on Thursday night near Durant, Oklahoma, which claimed the lives of Charles Bumpas, 60, and Mynda Dilbeck, 61. What began as an ordinary evening on US-70 turned into heartbreak for family, friends, and neighbors, leaving a void that will be deeply felt for years to come.
According to reports from KXII-TV, the collision occurred just before 10 p.m. when a westbound vehicle, driven by a 15-year-old from Durant, crossed left of center and struck the eastbound car head-on. Charles Bumpas, the driver of the eastbound vehicle, and Mynda Dilbeck, his passenger, were both residents of Sawyer, Oklahoma, and tragically died at the scene.
While the circumstances of the crash are devastating, the community is taking time to remember the lives Charles and Mynda lived, celebrating the people they were rather than focusing solely on the tragedy of their passing.
Charles Bumpas, at 60, had lived a life full of experience, wisdom, and connection. Known for his steady presence, he was cherished as a father, grandfather, brother, neighbor, and friend. Those who knew him remember a man who showed up quietly and consistently for his loved ones, offering guidance, support, and care that left lasting impressions on everyone around him. His life reflected the depth of character that comes from decades of love, dedication, and meaningful relationships.
Mynda Dilbeck, 61, carried a life marked by warmth, kindness, and resilience. She built lasting bonds with family and friends, leaving memories shaped by her compassion, generosity, and the light she brought into everyday moments. Her absence is a deeply felt loss, but her influence and the joy she shared continue to resonate with those who were fortunate to know her.
Together, Charles and Mynda were taking a routine drive on a familiar road when their lives were abruptly cut short. Their final journey reminds the community of life’s fragility but also of the enduring impact that love, friendship, and care leave behind. The memory of their lives—full of laughter, devotion, and connection—will continue to echo in the hearts of all who knew them, a lasting testament to the difference they made in their community.
As Bryan County mourns, families, friends, and neighbors come together to honor Charles and Mynda, finding comfort in shared memories, stories, and the enduring legacy of two lives that mattered deeply.
