John (Fred) was born May 3, 1932, in Sparks, Oklahoma, to John and Mamie (Stevinson) Decker, and passed away July 4, 2022. Fred grew up on a farm southeast of Covington. He attended Covington schools. Fred married Mary Jo Mack and from that union were born three children. He later married Helen Sue Alexander and that increased the family by two children. Fred married Pat Gallagher Gehay and three more children came into the family. He did custom harvesting, worked in the oil field for sixty-plus years, and owned and operated Decker's Casing, a couple of bars and the Den Club in Enid. He was a lifetime farmer and rancher.
