Remembering Steven Coen 🖤
Guymon Fire Department EMS Division Volunteer Steven R. Coen, EMT passed away Friday morning, May 1, 2026 as a result of a house fire in Goodwell. Steven has been a dedicated Guymon Fire Department member since 2016. He was an EMT that the Department and many citizens relied on. His countless hours served on interfacility transfers, EMS Standbys, special events, special operations, and training have always been recognized and now greatly missed. Even at the time of his death, Steven was on-call for the Guymon Fire Department for interfacility transfers that very night.
He was a dedicated Father, Friend, and Care Provider. In his 10 years with the Guymon Fire Department he treated, cared for, and/or transported over 367 patients as a Volunteer member. In 2020 at the height of COVID, Steven was the most dedicated transfer medic we could ask for. He personally transported over 80 of the most critically affected patients with COVID that needed to get to other hospitals from Guymon. He earned the nickname “COVID Steve” for his dedication of this and yet…never contracted COVID during that time. There is not an EMS member with the Guymon Fire Department that doesn’t have a story of an adventure on transfers or standbys with Steve.
Steven wasn’t just known with the Guymon Fire Department, he served with the Hooker EMS at times when their EMT’s needed time off and he volunteered to fill-in and serve Hooker as well. He had been on several deployments of Special Operations incidents and part of the Region-1 Emergency Medical Response Services System (REMSS) for northwest Oklahoma over the years as well. He attended and participated in State and Regional EMS training involving the REMSS group as well.
Survivors include five children: Aleigha Coen, Clayton Coen, Jayden Coen, Tyler Coen all of Goodwell, and Jessica Coen of Edmond, Oklahoma, the children’s mother, Hope Knowles and husband, Brian of Goodwell, two brothers, Robert and Ronald Rich both of Elkhart, Kansas, his in-laws, Robert & Cheryl Coffman of Guymon, many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
An Honorary Memorial service is planned for Steven on Saturday, May 30th, 10:00am at the First Christian Church in Guymon located at 8th & N. Quinn which will be open for Family, friends, citizens, and area First Responders are welcome.

Recognizing and Rewarding Hard Work 🏅
Robert Stokes has been a hard-working employee for the City of Guymon for 21 years. Starting off in Waster Water, he later shifted to Sanitation where Stokes' jobs entails lots of heaving lifting, as well as keeping our alleys clean and clear. Stokes is a foreman for the Sanitation Department and took his responsibilities a step further prior to Pioneer Days by spending overtime clearing out the alleys. Knowing the busiest weekend in Guymon was creeping up, he took it upon himself to ensure our streets and alleys were safe and clean.
We appreciate Robert and his efforts. Our alleys are an important asset to our community and him, and his team always go above and beyond to keep them clean.

Afternoon Fire Leads To Juvenile Arrests
Wednesday afternoon, Guymon Firefighters responded to a 911 report of a fire located in the 600 block of S. Quinn. On Fire Department arrival, an active grass fire that was immediately threatening 3 occupied mobile homes was spreading and growing larger with the prevailing winds. Multiple fire units worked quickly to protect the homes and extinguish the fire. As Firefighters were extinguishing the fire, evidence of the fire being purposely set became obvious.
“Once we recognized signs this fire was set, the Guymon Fire Marshal’s Office and Guymon Police became involved”, said Guymon Fire Chief Grant Wadley.
An investigation was started which led to the arrest of 2 juveniles that will be charged with second degree arson. With the dry conditions, high fire danger, and multiple homes immediately threatened, this fire could have had the potential to destroyed property and displace families.
An acre or less between a common back yard and a wooden fence were burned. No injuries reported.

Book of the Day
April 29, 2026
The One by John Marrs
Available for checkout in ebook and in audiobook through Libby!
A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you’ll be matched with your perfect partner—the one you’re genetically made for.
That’s the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless relationships and upended the traditional ideas of dating, romance and love.
Now five very different people have received the notification that they’ve been “Matched.” They’re each about to meet their one true love. But “happily ever after” isn’t guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others…

During the week of April 13-17th, our Library Director, Blair Henson, was invited to represent Oklahoma, Guymon, and the panhandled at The Institute of Museum and Library Services’ America 250 Convening in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Convening was a gathering of small, rural libraries from all over the American Southwest to discuss ideas and tools for how to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s Founding. At this event Library Director Blair Henson attended workshops, made connections from across the region and presented the ideas of our own library to the Convening. Both librarians and representatives were excited and inspired by the ideas that she presented; some indicated their intention to mimic Guymon’s ideas in their own libraries.
When discussing the projects, programs and future of what she learned, Blair had this to say “While America 250 is about our country’s history, the people are its history. America 250 is about showing all of the ways that our towns make the whole of the country. This is going to be an ongoing project, not just for this year, but for many years to come, to celebrate not only the history of America, but also of Guymon.”
Roadmap:
-A historical project, letting patrons and visitors walk through a display of our history.
-Programs will go live in the early fall, so keep your eyes peeled for news and requests so YOU can be involved.
- Future events and programs will pop up sporadically, so make sure to stay connected for what the library is doing. (You can send us a private message on Facebook if you’re not already signed up for our newsletter!)
