Jake Perry Cotton, former OKC resident, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, left this world to be with the Lord on July 30, 1995. He was born July 14, 1922, in Nicoma Park, OK, to Walter and Lou (Berry) Cotton.
Mr. Cotton was a retired union brickmason and spent his retirement years farming and raising livestock. He was a good neighbor to those who knew him, and we know he will be greatly missed by all.
Jake, as he liked to be called, spent 4 years protecting this fine country as a sailor in the US Navy in the South Pacific during WWII, and was never too busy to chat with friends about his Navy experiences and stories.
He was preceded in death by both parents; 2 half-sisters, Gladys and Blanche; a brother Jim; and his former wife, Winnie Minter Cotton.
He is survived by a daughter, Cathleen Cotton McKelvy; son James P Cotton; and 3 granddaughters; and a family of friends, the Kenneth McCray family.
Burial at the Brown Cemetery on Hwy 9, close to the place he loved so much.
