Jackie was born February 19, 1937 in Eli, OK to John Coy Young and Maggie Marie (Watkins) Young. He married the former Barbara Jean Rogers on June 10, 1958. He was a lifelong Hulbert area resident and was well known by his family and many friends for his sense of humor. Jackie was a member of the Spring Valley Free Will Baptist Church. He proudly served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged in 1962.

Before retirement Jackie was employed as a plumber in the construction industry. He was member of the Pipefitters Union, Local 430 for many years, and in 2015 was recognized for fifty years membership.

Jackie was a rancher all his life. From early on his nickname was "Mousie", which stuck with him throughout. His family fondly recalls he loved coon hunting, mean cows, horses and truck patch gardening.

Jackie's greatest treasure was his family. They called him the "baby whisperer", because he always could settle down any of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He dearly loved being with them, and they will miss him.

Jackie Lee departed this life Wednesday, August 28, 2019 in Tahlequah, OK at the age of 82 years. He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Iris, Bill, Bob, Wanda, Howard, Coy Jr., Inez and an infant brother, Charles and a special nephew, Dwayne.

Survivors include his loving wife of 61 years, Barbara Jean Young; his daughters and sons-in-law, Pam and Packy Ellis, Jacque and Ron Meredith, and son, Bryan Young and Stacy, all of Hulbert, OK; grandchildren and spouses, Lacy (Denver), Matt (Janet), Mitch (Kara), Jacob, Jaylee (fiancé Riley), Maycee, Cade and Kamber; great-grandchildren, Jarrett, Maverick, Navy, Aspen, Lakely, Everly, Lemi and Tennessee; a brother, Jay Young; three sisters-in-law, Mary Rogers, Thelma Lawson and Leota Lawson; numerous nieces and nephews; extended family and many friends.
