Thompson Geebon Gouge, Jr.

August 19, 1973 – January 17, 2024

Thompson Geebon Gouge, Jr. lived a life filled with humor, song and unwavering faith. Born in Lawton on August 19, 1973, to Lutie Sue (Goombi) Gouge and Thompson Gouge, Sr., he passed away Wednesday, January 17, 2024, surrounded by family in Tulsa.

Geebon was a graduate of Weleetka High School. He served as a Liaison for the Muscogee Creek Nation, a role he performed with dedication and pride. As a worship minister, his love for the Lord resonated through every note he played on his keyboard and every song he sang, filling the church with a divine joy that fortified the faith of all who heard him.

He leaves a legacy of love and laughter to his cherished children Hanna and Tyler George of Bixby, Madeline and Isaiah Hart of Okmulgee and Lance Gouge of Tulsa. His siblings Cindi and Clyde Fletcher of Okmulgee, Don and the late Lynn Gouge of Anadarko, will hold onto the memories of a brother who shone with a funny and faith-filled spirit. Geebon’s grandchildren – Henleigh, Natalie, Tucker, Isabella, Kastyn, Khalil, Naomi and Ivy – will grow up knowing their grandfather’s joy and boundless love.

Funeral services were scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday, January 22, 2024, at the Muscogee Dome in Okmulgee, with Rev. Wesley Berry officiating.

Interment was held Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at Rainy Mountain Kiowa Indian Baptist Church Cemetery.

Services are under the care and direction of Integrity Funeral Service in Henryetta.
