Cletis Coe
Cletis Tom Coe was born at the Nowata Hospital on February 27, 1956. Complications during childbirth were just the beginning of complications that came his way. The doctors could not get a heartbeat and told his mama that the baby was dead. The doctor was going to cut the baby up to be able to save her life, but the young mother refused. With few options left, the doctor forced the baby around his head, pilling the baby out like you would pull a stillborn baby calf. To the doctor’s surprise, the baby was alive.
At age two, he fell into a farm pond where the water was not clear and about 12 feet deep. A man that could not swim went in after him, and after several minutes and all hope had passed, he found him.
During his school years, 3 to 5 hours of chores would be done before and after school. There were dairy cows to milk, pigs to feed, and fences to mend: work, work, work, and more work.
Cletis met his wife in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were married on October 13, 1973. Had their first child at age 18. Bought their first house at 19. Started their first business at age 20.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3260″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css_animation=”flipInX” el_class=”bots”]
Cletis and Diana were entrepreneurs from that time on. A tractor/brush hog business, put up hay in the summer and snow removal in the winter. Over the years, they owned a full-service gas station, auto rental business, Tire shop, Insurance business, A children’s book writing, and house cleaning business, and they bought houses to fix up and flip.
Coe Production Company was started in 1979—a one-man operation company pumping oil and gas wells. Later became Coe Production Company, LLC, and grew to 25 employees. At the same time, Diana started an oil and gas bookkeeping business with several employees. ABC Bookkeeping, LLC., and Coe Production Company, LLC. are still doing business.
Cletis and Diana started working with the Royal Rangers in 1980. From there became part of the Oklahoma District Staff in the Assemblies of God. They were credentialed through the Assemblies and were part of the first class of the Oklahoma School of Ministries. They were the Children’s Pastor at Oologah Assembly of God for twelve years before starting Cowboy Country Fellowship, a cowboy church in 2011.
