Jay McClure was born on April 15, 1976 to Linda (Primrose) & Paul McClure in Sulphur, Oklahoma. He passed away at home surrounded by friends and family after a long time battle with ALS on October 19, 2024.
Jay lived his whole life in Murray County. He attended and graduated from Sulphur High School and went on to join the U.S. Army, where he proudly served in the Airborne Artillery Unit until Honorably Discharged for services rendered to his country. After serving in the military he owned and worked at the Sulphur Farm & Ranch for many years before joining the Murray County Sheriffs office where he served as Undersheriff until his retirement.
Jay lived with a passion, and loved many things. Jay loved God, his country, his freedom, guns, anything outdoors and deeply enjoyed teaching others. More than anything, Jay loved his family. His children were the light of his life, and when he wasn't pulling pranks on his family & friends you could find him at the boys baseball tournaments or hunting with the kids, cherishing every memory he made with them. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Jay is preceded in passing by a brother, Brian McClure; Paternal Grandparents Ruth & James McClure and Maternal Grandfather Jimmy Primrose.
He is survived by his children, Madelyn McClure & Jayden McClure of the home; Father Paul & wife Bettye McClure; Mother Linda & husband David Pittman; Brothers Chris McClure of Sulphur, Paul & wife Robin McClure, Jr. of New Jersey, Scott & wife Lisa Pittman of Norman and Jeff & wife Shelly of Healdton; Sisters Lisa McClung of Norman and Lori Tresia of Norman as well as his Grandmother, Fern Primrose of Davis and a host of other family and friends.
