Mr. Oscar Burchel Gibson of Jamestown was born on October 14, 1931 in Wolfe County, Kentucky to the late Percy Roscoe and Ila M. (Pelfrey) Gibson. He departed this life on Monday, September 26, 2016 at the Taylor Regional Hospital after a brief illness. He was 84 years, 11 months, and 12 days of age. He professed faith in Christ and was of the Baptist faith. Mr. Gibson, or “Grandpa B”, as he was affectionately called by several children, was a painter, a farmer, a construction hand, and a Golden Glove boxer (in his younger days), but most importantly, a friend to all who knew him. His heart and his home were open for anyone who needed compassion, and his kind-hearted spirit will be long remembered.
He leaves to cherish his memory:
Four children: Alice Gibson, Tim Gibson and wife Brenda, and John Gilbert, all of Indiana, and Madonna Hall of Russell Springs,
His long-time friend and 30-year significant other: Pamela Hall of Jamestown,
Two sisters: Katherine Holcomb and Phyllis, both of Michigan,
Grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren too numerous to count,
And a host of other family and close friends.
Beside his parents, he was also preceded in death by three children, Burton Lee Gilbert, William Ray Gilbert, and James Eddie Gilbert, and three siblings, Roscoe Gibson, Odell Gibson, and a third sibling in infancy.
A memorial and interment service to honor the life of Mr. Gibson will be held at the Tar Ridge Cemetery in Wolfe County and will be announced at a later date.
