11/01/2025

Jeffrey Francis Stull, known to his friends and family as Jeff or "Sly," was born on April 15, 1964, in Monmouth, IL, and left us too soon on November 1, 2025. His life and work took him far from his birthplace, and at the time of his passing, he resided in Texhoma, Oklahoma. Throughout his life, Jeff remained true to his passions and his character. He was a dedicated and respected self-employed bull hauler, a job that suited his strong, independent spirit. Jeff lived his life with a sense of humor, often reiterating his famous saying, "haulin' bulls and punchin' fools."

Jeff found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an outdoor enthusiast, who enjoyed four wheeling and motorcycling. His adventurous spirit was evident when he was out on the open road or off-roading in his truck. However, his love for adventure did not overshadow his love for dancing. Jeff could often be found enjoying a good dance, his infectious laugh and charismatic personality lighting up the room. Despite his rugged exterior, Jeff had a soft spot for music and rhythm.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Dixie Stull; sister, Rhonda Stull; sister, Missy Thomason and special friend, Laura Galavotti.

Jeff is survived by his son, Jordan Stull, his siblings, sister; Shelly Ross and husband Mark, sister; Kandy Stull, sister; Mindy Thomas and husband Joe, and his brother, Jamy Stull and wife Amber. Jeff is also survived by his sidekick, his beloved dog, Kona.
