Bobby Joe Seaborn was born in April of 1940 and born again in February of 1995. His mama Ruby prayed thousands of prayers for her boy to accept Christ as his Savior, and they are rejoicing together in heaven today because he did. Joe was a joyful Christian and he and his wife Verlene were faithful Church members at Olivet Baptist Church in Sand Springs, Oklahoma until Joe retired in 2005. After retiring, Joe and Verlene moved home to Wister, where they attended Bethel Baptist Church.
Joe was an electrician by trade and retired from Mac’s Electric Supply in Tulsa after 30 years. He loved woodworking and was exceptional at carpentry, building cabinets and making cedar chests for his friends and family. He was always willing to lend a hand doing electrical work or carpentry to help out anyone in need of his help.
Joe was a faithful and tireless caregiver to his mother and father until they passed away, and to his wife Verlene until she passed away in 2019.
Joe loved to feed the deer in his backyard and in his younger days, loved to fish for Crappie and Catfish. He is survived by his best friend, cousin and fishing buddy Wayne Woodall, and his best and faithful friend and cousin Cynthia Wecker.

He is also survived by his three grandsons, Jaden and Bryson Martin of Coweta, Oklahoma, Huck Mathews of Poteau, Oklahoma, and a whole bunch of nieces, nephews and cousins.
Joe loved his Harmon family and thought of his brothers and sisters-in-law as his true siblings, and they loved him the same.
