With shattered hearts, we share the news of our beloved son's passing.

In the early hours on the morning of July 29, our son, Claude Landon Speaker- mostly only known as "Bear" went to rest in the arms of Jesus.

Our boy was most certainly larger than life during his short time on this earth.

Bear was a loving son and brother, as well as a strong and loving pillar in his own family, which he was building in a partnership with Faith Jordan  and the two beautiful children he chose as his own Paislee and Cooper Jordan of Whitesboro.

Bear was a self-taught and highly skilled welder. He rightfully was so proud of himself often jokingly referring to himself as "Golden Arms."

Bear was gifted to us in this life on April 16, 2003 and departed this life on July 29, 2023 to live eternally at the young age of 20.  Bear was immediately embraced at Heaven's Gate by his Nona, Ilene Gartman and his Pawpaw, Claude Speaker.

He is survived by partner, Faith Jordan , and children, Paislee, and Cooper Jordan of Whitesboro. Momma and Pops, Beth and Justin Adams of Colbert.  Father and bonus mom, Amy and Jason Speaker of Little Elm.   Sisters, Mattie Speaker and Madelynn Aguirre. Brothers Trevor Denton and Xavier Aguirre. Grandparents, Lynne and Bob Gartman, Karen Rhodes, Linda and Steven Adams . Uncles, Billy Gartman, Dallas Hale, Wesley Johnston, Jacob Bower, Jarad Fisher, and their families; along  with so many other loved ones.

A celebration of Bear's life will be held on Sunday, August 6th in the "Rally Room" at Riverview RV park located at 300 South Dickson Dr., Colbert, OK from 1 PM to 4 PM.

Memorial donations may be made directly to Bear 's momma, Beth Adams, via Venmo, or cash app to be shared in support of his family.
