Oscar Earl Glover, 60, left this earth to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 27, 2024

Oscar was born March 21, 1963 to parents Earl and Suzanne Glover, and proud big sister Suenell Breeze. It's been said he and his sister became best friends as soon as she dumped him from his bassinet shortly after coming home to 212 Ft Sill Blvd. From the time Oscar could walk, his dad had him working at the family businesses. His life was shaped by the rewards and hardships of lessons learned running the alleys of the Lawton Stockyards and Earl Glover Auctioneering. He loved cattle, all things numbers, and was his mama's baby. Everyone knew Earl's boy with the Glover Zip, given to him by his barber, Teetum Prowel.

Oscar would walk to school at Washington Elementary, and if he wasn't getting "superiorly supervised" by Earl, you could find him playing with his dog, Trixy, selling eggs to anyone that would buy them, or at least throwing them at the cars driving down Ft Sill Blvd. At nine Years old, Oscar went on his own with Kenny Miller in tow to the Fort Smith Auction School and became the youngest auctioneer in the country. He sold anything from cattle to heavy machinery and was well respected at his young age. He spent most of his elementary and Central Junior High years at the sale barn, the family barn out east, or one of his other properties, or at the house of some of his father's family. Whether it be learning to ride horses at Tommy's, playing basketball with Mattie, counting cows with Jeff, Ma Hattie's back rubs, or Jimmy Ray naming Kathy, "Ring". His aunts, uncles and cousins were where he learned so many life perspectives, how to aggravate, and that laugh and zeal for life that so many of us know and love.

As a teenager, Oscar was made to work and by 1981, he had really made a hand and was a regular cowboy. He made several memories and friendships traveling to rodeos across Oklahoma with His buddies Joey, Ronnie, Bobby, Gail, Phillip and so many more. His senior year he won the High School Finals Rodeo team roping. Oscar attended Lawton High School and was the President of his class. Working at least 18 hour days, he really began to see school and work begin to come together. He became the president of FFA and his senior year was awarded the Star Agribusinessman award, Oklahoma FFA's highest honor. He learned everything he could about showing and dressing cattle with Copus, Bonham, Jensen and the Whites. He won his first County Grand Champion as a sophomore, with 2 more consecutive Comanche County Grand Champion Market Steers to follow. His FFA-earned assets, valued at $180,000 included 105 acres of wheat, with more than 100 head of cattle, with 55 heifers calving at once. He won seven consecutive County show championships, tractor driving and team judging awards. He also began his breeding business with his bull "Black Catalyst" joining the Oklahoma Cattle Association. Oscar was honored for all his efforts at the end of the school year in 1981 by Governor George Nigh with a declaration of May 26th being "Oscar Glover Day".

Oscar graduated from Cameron University with a Bachelor's in Business Finance. He married Christi Stephens for 25 years. They had their first son, Chase in May of 1984. Over the next six years they had three more children, Ostyn, Earl Chandler and Colten. Oscar would tell you his greatest accomplishments in life were his children. Oscar had always been good with little ones. It was one of his greatest gifts. He loved his niece and nephew Sunni and Trail, as his very own. Being a dad was his greatest joy, and he loved to teach life lessons and make sure everyone could "shake a hand". Oscar loved the Lord. He always read a large text Bible and took his kids to church at Roseland Christian Church and later First Baptist East. He made every kid recite the Lord's Prayer at night before bed until they got it down. A good day for Oscar as a family man was to gather up all the kids, his gate openers, and drive around checking his springers and look for their newborn calves, find some deer, wild turkey or any wild game, then drive on every pond dam while he laughed. He instilled the value of a good last name and taught his kids how to work. He had many business endeavors over the years and viewed every new business as an exciting challenge. Oscar found renewed joy in the births of his grandchildren. Just as he did with his own, Oscar encouraged basketball, took them coyote hunting with Johny Hardzog, taught them some Glover tricks and to love the farm just like he did.

His absence leaves a void in the hearts of all who had the privilege to meet him, yet his spirit lives on in the remembrance of the way his love made people feel.

Oscar is survived by his sister Suenell Breeze; His children: Chase and Sheila Glover, Ostyn and Joe Abshere, EC Glover, Colten and Kenia Glover; His niece and nephews: Sunni and John Jones and Trail Breeze; His grandchildren: Anistyn, Ace and Maviryk Abshere, Sky and Sage Jones, Lakelyn Breeze and one sweet aunt, Maddie Mcdonald, along with many other relatives and friends.

Oscar was preceded in death by his parents and his eight aunts and uncles.
