April 1, 1959 – March 23, 2022

Jimmy Plunk of Blackwell, Oklahoma, died Wednesday, March 23, 2022, at his home in Blackwell at the age of 62 years.

Jimmy Dale Plunk was born in Blackwell Oklahoma on April 1,1959 to Pete and Lucy Plunk. He was the youngest son in a family of 10 kids.

Jimmy had a unique sense of humor, he was the ultimate jokester and he will be greatly missed by all that knew him. He had two children, Amanda and Josh Plunk.

His favorite past time was spending time with brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. His hobbies included playing bingo, traveling to Arkansas to visit family, trips to Idabel to fish with his older brother and baking dishes for those he cared about.

Jimmy could always be counted on to attend family gatherings where he was greatly loved and where he could always be found cutting up and giving someone a playful hard time.

His career as a long-haul truck driver brought him many great memories and happiness. He was preceded in death by both parents, his son Joshua Plunk, sisters Sue Cole, Pat Cockerham, Shirley Throneburg, his brother Sherman Plunk and his brother-in-law Elton Stocker.

Jimmy is survived by his sisters Margaret Stocker of Glencoe OK; Ruby Davis of Blackwell, OK; Doris Gates and husband Pete of Blackwell, OK; Bill Plunk and wife Patty of Ponca City, OK; Kay Higgins and husband Jack of Ponca City, OK and brother-in-law Lloyd Throneburg of Blackwell. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Mass will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Blackwell.
