Johnson “Jonny Hawk” Scott
Johnson Lee Scott, also known as Jonny Hawk, passed away Wednesday, February 2, 2022, in Ada, Oklahoma. He was born to Lena Wolf Cully and Peter Scott on October 21, 1938 in Wewoka, Oklahoma. He was raised in Spaulding, Oklahoma by Lena (Wolf) and Peter Factor.
Johnson went to Spaulding School. Later on, he went to Sequoyah. He didn’t like Sequoyah so he built a stomp ground deep in the woods alongside his friends Tema Tiger, Leon Bell, Pat Bell, Jonas Harley, Thompson Gouge, and many more stomp dancers. In tenth grade, he ran away from Sequoyah and he went back to Vcen Hutce Tvlse.
He met Billey Louise Tiger and had 13 children. At age 22, he moved to Okmulgee and they lived in Hotel Sparks in 1961. Hotel Sparks caught fire last week and when he was told he said “that was mine and momma’s first house. LuLu learned how to walk on the railroad tracks.” He laughed about it! He graduated from Okmulgee Tech and became an artist. His paintings are worldwide. He won the National Cowboy and Western Hall of Fame, alongside his best friend, Bill Owens and many, many friends and family.
