Jerrold Hooker, who lived a remarkable 106 years, was a man devoted to his Lord, his family, and his country. He passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of November 10, 2025.

Jerrold served his country with honor during World War II, stationed in both the Middle East and North Africa. He was also a dedicated assistant manager at the grain elevator in Hitchcock, OK and Okeene, OK, and devoted 18 years of his life to serving as the mayor of Hitchcock. Additionally, he faithfully taught Sunday school for 22 years. After 50 years of dedicated service to the Masonic Lodge, Jerrold earned the esteemed title of Master Mason. He was also a member of the American Legion and VFW.

Above all, Jerrold was a loving family man. His life was a living testament to a Christlike spirit, leading by example and spreading joy and kindness to all who knew him. His legacy will live on in the lessons he taught us about the importance of a life devoted to God.
