Jerry Wayne Denton

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jerry Wayne Denton, age 65, of Midwest City, Oklahoma, who passed away at home on July 30, 2025. Jerry is now resting peacefully with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jerry was born on May 5, 1960, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Ron and Patricia Denton. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend—someone who lived fully and loved deeply.

Jerry was known for his passion for working outdoors in the yard, riding motorcycles, spending quality time with his family, his love of fishing, bringing joy to others with his sense of humor, and proudly cheering on his beloved OSU Cowboys. Jerry also dedicated 30 years of service to Langston’s, where his work ethic and friendly nature left a lasting impression.

In 2015, Jerry met his beloved wife, Karen, and their bond was instant. Together, they shared countless adventures, laughter, and a deep love that was evident to everyone around them. Jerry cherished Karen and the constant care, joy, and unwavering support she gave him every day.

He is survived by his loving wife, Karen Denton; his daughters, Desiree Denton and Peggy Hibbler and husband Daniel; and his sons, Matt Stanfield, Eugene Baldwin, Dane Baldwin and wife Patricia, David Baldwin and wife Tabitha, and Josh Baldwin and wife Richelle.

Jerry also leaves behind his brothers, Ron Denton and Don Denton; in-laws Larry and Peggy Bradley, Pat Bradley, Susan Mason and Eddie Martinez, and Verna and Bobby Kolar; along with 21 grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Ron and Patricia Denton.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 6, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at Hibbs Funeral Home in Choctaw, Oklahoma. All who knew and loved Jerry are warmly invited to attend and share memories in his honor.
