TRUMAN JEFFERSON
July 17, 1946 ~ November 24, 2023
Truman Jefferson, age 77, of Idabel, Oklahoma, died, Friday, November 24, 2023, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on Wednesday, July 17, 1946, to Preston and Annie Jefferson in Bethel, Oklahoma.
Truman joined the United States Army as a PFC on August 8, 1968, and was honorably discharged on September 8, 1970. He began his career as a worship leader at Kulli Chito Presbyterian Church in Bethel, Oklahoma under Eugene Wilson.
Then Truman began his law enforcement career with the McCurtain County Sheriff's Office as a deputy, then he went to work at Coalgate Police Department in Coalgate, Oklahoma and also worked as a security guard at the prison in Stringtown, Oklahoma. From there he went to the Durant Police Department.
He moved back home to Idabel to continue his career with the Idabel police Department as an officer. He retired from Law Enforcement to become a full-time gospel singer with the group called The Glory Road Singers. He was also known as the sound of masters, setting up his sound system all over Oklahoma. He traveled to Florida, California and many other states singing for the Lord. He was also known as the Master of Ceremonies.
After he retired from singing, he enjoyed watching the Cowboys and his stories, The Young and the Restless and every morning, the Three Stooges. He loved spending time with his family and friends and never met a stranger.
Truman was always joking, he was always telling the great-grandkids to drink your pop up, it's "High Dollar." Truman was loved by many and will be dearly missed, He was a jokester! He could make you laugh sometimes with a serious look on his face. He was the myth and the legend.
Truman is preceded in death by his parents; one daughter, Vicky Beard; three brothers, Huey Jefferson, Easis Jefferson and Elliston Jefferson and three Sisters, Serena Ward, Lucy Myers and Misann Bond.
