Jeff was born on August 8, 1957 in Bakersfield, California to Leo (Jeff) and Emma (Hodge) Black.

Jeff was a devoted Christian who loved the Lord with all his heart. He was a loving husband to Becky for 41 years, an adoring daddy to his Katy girl, the best Papa to Emma and John, and a beloved, ornery brother to Phyllis.

Jeff was a deacon at First Baptist Church of Red Oak. Prior to the last 3 years of battling with his health, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing pool, attending Rise and Shine at his church on Sunday mornings, and riding his motorcycle. He even got Becky to ride with him a few times.

Jeff is survived by his wife, Becky of the home; daughter and son-in-law, Katy and Seth Rogers of Pocola; grandchildren, Emma and John Rogers of Pocola; sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis and Richard Dixon of Haileyville; mother-in-law, Jane Stevens of Hartshorne; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Larry Black.

His family is comforted in knowing that he is now walking the streets of gold with Jesus; with a perfect, new body and no bent over back or health issues.
