Christopher Alan Pemberton

Christopher Alan Pemberton was born on Saturday, July 7, 1973, to Gail and Mark Pemberton. He went home to be with the Lord on October 2, 2026, surrounded by the familiarity and comfort of his home in Glenpool, Oklahoma.
Chris is survived by his wife, Annabelle Pemberton; his mother, Gail Wachob; his children, Taylor and Laramie, Zachary, Alissa & Drew, Kelci and Baylee and Maurice; and his beloved grandbabies, Slayder and Charlie Rose. He also leaves behind many friends and family members who stood close to him, especially during his darkest days battling cancer, including Melissa Berryhill, Chris Evans, Nicci Langston & Shawn Nevels, plus many, many more.
Chris worked for many years as a structural MIG welder. Later, he followed his interest in cannabis and became a budtender, eventually working his way up to retail store manager. Whatever job he took on, Chris brought his personality, curiosity, and unmistakable sense of humor with him.
Growing up, Chris loved being outdoors and staying active. He wrestled for the Sapulpa Chieftains and was known at school for his big personality and for being the life of the party. He never needed anything fancy to be happy. Give him his family, some loud rock music, Mary Jane, and a few good people, and he was content. Chris was, in every sense, a simple man.
You could often find him out in the garage, either fixing something or breaking it while trying. He loved four-wheelers and fishing, and he spent plenty of time at the neighborhood pond. He loved catching a big one, holding it up with a huge smile, and then letting it go.
Chris was also a talented woodworker who could make just about anything with his bare hands. He loved grilling for his family and friends, and because he had one serious sweet tooth, he was usually baking something, too. Every now and then, though, you had to ask whether his brownies were safe to eat. Chris loved baking with cannabutter and was, to put it mildly, a true herbal enthusiast.
He was creative and unique in ways that were entirely his own. Chris loved to draw, and he was incredibly good at it. He loved talking about his children and grandbabies. He took pictures of sunsets, spent time in his room, and played his music so loud it could rattle the pictures right off the walls.
Chris was raw, funny, stubborn, talented, and completely himself. He loved hard, laughed loud, and found joy in the simple things. Cancer may have brought some dark days, but it never took away the light he gave to the people around him. His absence will be deeply felt, and the stories, laughter, and memories he left behind will be carried forward by everyone who knew and loved him.
