This guy was one of my shipmates aboard USS Ranger. Didnt know him but probably stood next to each other in the Chow Line. lol Born in Duncan, Oklahoma, Axton spent his pre-teen years in Comanche, Oklahoma with his brother, John.[2] His mother, Mae Boren Axton, co-wrote the classic rock n roll song Heartbreak Hotel, which became the first major hit for Elvis Presley. Some of Hoyt Axtons own songs were also later recorded by Elvis. Hoyt Axtons father, John T. Axton, was a Navy officer stationed in Jacksonville, Florida; the family joined him there in 1949. Axton graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1956 and left town after Knauers Hardware burned down on graduation night, a prank gone wrong.[3] Axton attended Oklahoma State for a short length of time before following his father and enlisting in the Navy. Axton served aboard the USS Ranger before pursuing a music career. https://youtube/watch?v=QZHSIhdYSZY
