In Loving Memory of Jack Carson Whipple Jr.
March 13, 1935 - July 12, 2026
Jack Carson Whipple Jr. entered this world on March 13, 1935, and entered the gates of Heaven on July 12, 2026, at the age of 91.
Jack was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, proud veteran, accomplished engineer, faithful church servant, and cherished friend. His life was a testament to faith, service, hard work, and love for others.
Born and raised in Henryetta, Oklahoma, Jack graduated from Henryetta High School in 1953 and remained a proud Henryetta Hen throughout his life. He continued his education at Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology (OSU A&M) in Okmulgee before attending Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he furthered his studies and developed a lifelong love for Oklahoma State athletics.
A proud and loyal OSU Cowboy, Jack attended countless sporting events over the years, proudly wearing his orange and black. One of his proudest moments was watching his daughter graduate from his beloved alma mater. Though Oklahoma State was always his number one team, Jack enthusiastically supported all Oklahoma schools and teams. He cheered for the Sooners whenever they were not playing against the Cowboys and believed in supporting Oklahoma athletics as a reflection of his love for his home state.
Jack proudly served his country in the United States Navy for six years and was stationed aboard the USS John Hancock aircraft carrier. He carried great pride in his military service and held a deep respect for all veterans who served before him, alongside him, and after him. His patriotism and gratitude for those who defended our freedoms remained with him throughout his life.
Following his military service, Jack built a remarkable career in the oil and gas industry. He worked for National Tank Company, Williams Brothers Corporation, BS&B Oil Company, Maloney Crawford, and Callidus, earning the respect of colleagues and peers through his expertise, dedication, and innovation. As an engineer, he designed offshore oil platform equipment and was awarded a patent for the first oil and gas separator valve, a significant accomplishment that reflected his ingenuity and commitment to excellence.
While Jack was devoted to his profession, his true calling was serving the Lord. He faithfully served as Music Minister in several churches, using his love of music to lead others in worship. He especially cherished the old gospel hymns and found great joy in singing praises to God. His warm spirit, encouraging nature, and servant's heart touched countless lives.
Jack dedicated much of his life to helping others. He volunteered in church food pantries, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. He found great joy in watching children learn and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and was passionate about nurturing their faith. He also had a special love and admiration for missionaries who traveled to countries around the world to share the Gospel. He faithfully supported their work through prayer, encouragement, and generosity.
In his younger years, Jack enjoyed athletics and competition. He played semi-professional football and later coached Little League football. As the years passed, one of his greatest joys was cheering from the sidelines as his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren participated in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and many other activities.
Jack's love for family also extended to agricultural activities and youth development programs. He proudly attended FFA events, livestock shows, and competitions, supporting his daughter and grandchildren as they exhibited sheep and cattle.
Above all, Jack loved his family. On November 15, 1956, he married the love of his life, Martha Rogers. Together they began their life in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, building a marriage founded on faith, love, and commitment. Throughout the years they lived in several communities, but spent the majority of their life in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, where they raised their four children and created a home filled with love, laughter, and treasured memories.
Jack is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 70 years, Martha Whipple. He is also survived by his 4 children of whom he was very proud of; Steve and Robyn Whipple, Jack and Teresa Whipple, Martin and Linda Whipple, and Kathy and Jason Lott. He was also blessed with and survived by 12 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in his heart.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Flora Whipple, and by two beloved great grandsons, Hoss and Moose.
Jack will be remembered for his unwavering faith, exceptional work ethic, humble spirit, generosity, wisdom, and steadfast love.
"Well done, good and faithful servant." - Matthew 25:23
