Charles Rocky Hale

Charles Rocky Hale, longtime Jones resident, passed away Sunday, August 24, 2025 at his residence in Jones at the age of 66.

Charles was born January 20, 1959 in Lancaster, California to Charles Clay and Ruby Ellen (Davis) Hale. He moved to Oklahoma in 1967. Charles developed a love for the Lord at an early age. He would later marry the love of his life, Brenda Looney, on August 26, 1983 in Choctaw, OK. They would have been married for 42 years this month.

Charles was a loving father and an even better grandpa. He loved fishing when he got the chance. Charles was a framer and built houses for most of his life. He would break his back to do anything to help someone. He could build just about anything he wanted with his hands and would often help other people who may have had a hard time completing a project.
