John Thomas Eberle

John Thomas Eberle passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family on Friday, April 30, 2021. He was born on June 22, 1942, to parents John Frank and Helen (Knebel) Eberle. John spent his grade school years at John Carroll, Christ the King, and graduated from Bishop McGuinness High School in 1960. He attended Georgetown University, obtaining a degree in Political Science. In 1967, he graduated from the University of Oklahoma School of Law. After passing the Bar, he joined the United States Navy and served in Vietnam on the USS Paul Revere. While serving in San Diego, he met his wife of 52 years Nancy Mullins. In 1969, he became a member of JAG and was stationed in Philadelphia, PA. After returning to Oklahoma, he worked as an assistant District Attorney before entering private practice as a probate attorney. John was an active member of The Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. During his time there, he served as parish council chairman and was a lector for many years at mass. He and his wife Nancy often counseled couples to be married through the Love and Deed program. He was involved in the Heritage Hills neighborhood association, serving as president of the Historical Preservation Inc. from 1982-1984. John was a caring husband and father who always put his family first. Selfless, always helping others without expecting anything in return, he was a constant support to all those around him. And his sense of humor and fun-loving nature will be missed most of all. John was preceded in death by his parents and son Michael. He is survived by his wife Nancy, his sisters Susan (Dennis) Hudacky and Sally (David) Welch, his children John, (April), Thomas (Julie), Patrick, and Katherine (Lemuel), and grandchildren Benton, Josie, Cole, Miles, Simon, and Ruth. Mass of Christian Burial will be said at 10:30am Thursday, May 6th, 2021 at The Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help with interment at Resurrection Memorial Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in his honor may be made to Bishop McGuinness High School or Catholic Charities.
