Cleo Littleton: Legacy Beyond the Court

Cleo Littleton, Wichita State’s legendary basketball icon and all-time leading scorer, passed away at 93, leaving behind a legacy that transcended the court. His impact was so profound that it led to the construction of the 10,000-seat Charles Koch Arena, and his number 13 was retired in honor. Beyond stats and trophies, Cleo was a pillar of his community—a devoted family man, mentor, and pioneer who broke barriers in college athletics. From supporting his children through hardship to making his granddaughter feel cherished, his love was unwavering. A successful businessman and banker, he opened doors for countless young people, embodying grace, determination, and integrity. Even after his playing days, he remained a beloved figure, attending every family event—unless a Shocker game called him away. Cleo’s true legacy? He lived by his own words: a champion on the court, a builder in business, and above all, a good man who loved his family and community deeply.
