John Paul “Bubba” Hearn, beloved father and grandfather, passed away at his home in Oklahoma City on September 2, 2024. Bubba is now with his Lord and Savior and reunited with his mother Janie Hearn, father Frank Hearn, brothers Tommy and Roy Hearn, sister Stella Kellum, and his beloved grandson Cody Wayne Menges. 

Bubba was born May 15, 1949 in Hollandale, MS. He enjoyed sharing many fond memories of his past adventures and experiences from his youth in Mississippi. Bubba retired from his career as a school bus mechanic with Leander ISD in 2017. Bubba shared the past 50 years of his life with Deborah Hearn, a marriage which left behind his beloved sons Stephen and Quincy Hearn, beloved daughters Tania Menges and Kimberly Hearn, and two young men Bubba always considered sons in his heart, Ronnie Menges and Jesse Enyidah. Bubba also leaves behind his beloved son Donnie Hearn, daughter Paulette Bell, beloved granddaughters Emma and Mikayla Hearn, beloved grandsons Brodie and Easton Hearn and Justin and Colten Menges, beloved great grandchildren Avery and Jasper Menges, and so many more beloved family members whom he loved with all his heart. 

Bubba enjoyed collecting knives and model cars and watching old westerns. One of his favorite pastimes was spending his evenings with his granddaughters, Emma and Mikayla Hearn, playing Tic-Tac-Toe and Dominoes; a fond memory they will hold dear to their heart. A private memorial service is planned to be held in Texas at a location central to family.
