Thompson Geebon Gouge, Jr., lived a life filled with humor, song, and unwavering faith. Born in Lawton, Oklahoma on August 19, 1973, to Lutie Sue (Goombi) Gouge and Thompson Gouge Sr., He passed away on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, surrounded by family in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A man who found joy in every beat of life, Geebon was a graduate of Weleetka High School. With his heart firmly rooted in his community, 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.
Geebon's passion for singing and playing the piano was rivaled only by his love for making people laugh. With an infectious smile and an open heart, he never met a stranger-each new face was simply a friend he hadn't yet embraced. A proud descendant of the Muscogee Nation, he wore his heritage with honor and taught his children to do the same.
Family was the cornerstone of Geebon's life. 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.
Geebon Gouge, Jr's legacy will resonate through the songs sung, the laughter shared, and the faith that held him steady. A beacon of light has left the world a little brighter because he was here.
