Jack was born December 21, 1955 in Enid, to Homer and Dorothy (Meier) Clover, and passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2024 in Enid.
Jack worked in the oilfield for many years. He was a brown belt in karate. In 1980, he moved to Wyoming to continue his work in the oilfield. He was followed by his soon to be wife, Cindie. After several years, they moved back to Enid. He began working at Vance Air Force Base as a Fireman. Eventually, he transferred to Kegalman Airfield as a firefighter. He retired from there after 33 years.
Jack and Cindie has two sons, Jason and Nathan, whom Jack loved coaching in baseball. Nathan and his wife Leslie gave him five beautiful grandkids; Lane Clover, age 14, Bradley Cropp, age 12, Lauryn & Lyndsay Vasquez, ages 14, and Tony Vasquez, age 20. Jack was also an avid outdoorsman; he loved to hunt and fish, but he loved the beauty he found when doing it. He also loved playing poker and shooting pool, and made many friends while doing all these things. He loved his family with his whole heart. Jack always said when he taught his boys to hunt, fish and play sports, that he got more joy out of them succeeding than he ever did for himself. His arch nemesis were snakes and negativity! We will miss his mostly stupid, funny jokes, but his beautiful, loving, God fearing, wide-open heart will be missed the most.
Jack is preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Dorothy Clover; and brother, Donald Clover. He is survived by his wife Cindie, of the home in Nash; two sons, Jason Clover, of Fairview, Ok; Nathan Clover and wife Leslie, of Kiowa, KS; sister, Wanda Dempewolfe, of Enid; sister, Connie Woolman, of Nacona, TX; five grandchildren; Lane Clover, Lauryn Vasquez, Lyndsay Vasquez, Bradley Cropp, Tony Vasquez, all of Kiowa, KS; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and numerous friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Jack’s name may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
