Johnny Lee Eberle was called to be with Jesus on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa at the age of 83 years, 6 months. He was born July 11, 1941 in Abilene, Texas to Mamie Josephine (Garrett) Eberle and Glenn Curtis Eberle, Sr.
He and his family moved back to Hominy, Oklahoma, a few months after his birth, then they moved to Tulsa in 1948. Johnny later moved to Owasso.
He married the love of his life, his high school sweetheart, Velma Faye Heffley on October 21, 1961. They celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary in 2024.
They had two sons – Troy Lee (05-06-1964) and Todd Lee (10-07-1967) who have always been the center of Johnny and Velma’s world.
Those who knew Johnny describe him as a good man with a generous heart who would do anything for you. He was a good teacher and listener. He worked hard to provide for his family as an auto painter. He was well known for his excellent skills in the Tulsa area until he retired.
He loved wildlife, fishing and hunting and spent as much time as possible with other family members and friends in those activities. He loved to share stories of their adventures and especially liked telling the funny stories. Johnny was a great cook, and we all enjoyed when he had a fish fry.
