John Roger Hurt, Jr

December 22, 1958 — March 9, 2023

Oklahoma City

John “Roger” Hurt, Jr., an attorney and resident of Oklahoma City, passed away at the age of 64 on March 9, 2023 while on vacation in Portugal.

Roger was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on December 22nd, 1958 to John Roger Hurt, Sr. and Margaret “Eloise” Hurt nee White.

He graduated from the University of Oklahoma School of Law in 1984 and began working at Pierce Couch Hendrickson Baysinger & Green, where he became a senior partner.

Roger was a lifelong University of Oklahoma football fan and annual season ticketholder. He was an avid reader but also a lover of nature and all things outdoors who took yearly fishing trips with his good friends from law school.

Roger was an active member of New Hope United Methodist Church as his faith was very important to him. He was a vital part of the Second Saturday ministry to the unhoused in Oklahoma City.

Roger will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He was an exceptional lawyer and trial attorney. Blessed with a keen intellect and work ethic, Roger also had a tremendous sense of humor and was a devoted father and excellent to his friends. An additional star has been added to the heavens.....his family and friends will miss the warmth and glow of that light here on Earth, but will forever remember and cherish the time we were allowed to share with him.

He is survived by his two daughters, Allyssa and Carly Hurt.

A memorial service will take place Friday, April 14th at 2:00 pm at New Hope United Methodist Church on Council and NW 122nd Street.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to New Hope United Methodist Church or their Second Saturday Unhoused Outreach Ministry.
