Edwin Jelinek

January 11, 1981 – June 24, 2025

Edwin Martin “Marty” Jelinek, 44, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, passed away on June 24, 2025. He was born on January 1, 1981, at Grady Memorial Hospital in Chickasha, Oklahoma, to Eddy Jelinek and the late Shelly Burkhardt.

Marty was a proud member of The Anadarko High School, Class of 2000. He was known for his athletic ability, his deep love of sports, and his generous spirit. He especially enjoyed baseball, football, and basketball, and was a devoted fan of the Oklahoma Sooners and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Though he had a larger-than-life personality, Marty also experienced social anxiety and preferred to spend time in smaller, more personal settings as he got older. He lived life on his own terms—carving his own path and staying true to himself in everything he did. He had a heart that never hesitated to give, and his care for others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Marty is preceded in death by his mother, Shelly Burkhardt; maternal grandparents, Marilyn Parton Burkhardt and Jake Burkhardt; paternal grandparents, Ed and Doris Jelinek; maternal aunts, Lori Burkhardt, Victoria Giles, and Lana Liles; maternal uncles, Richard Giles, Ronnie Giles, and Tom Blanchard; and paternal aunt, Barbara Jelinek.

He is survived by his wife, LouElla Maria Jelinek; daughters, Brooklyn Swift and Senia “Haeven” O’Neil; step-sons, Malik Boardingham, Austin Valdez, and Victor Elizondo; grandson, Bronx Figueroa; father, Eddy Jelinek; sisters, Inga Burkhardt and Ashley Jelinek; maternal aunts, Lisa Blanchard and Beth Giles; maternal uncles, Larry Burkhardt and Charlie Burkhardt; paternal aunts, Theresa Lent, Sandi Jelinek and Candi Jelinek; nieces and nephews, including Ellorey Gaines, Marisa Moreno, Mariana Moreno, Alexander Jelinek, Mario Fabian, and Embree Burkhardt; and numerous cousins who loved him dearly and will carry his memory forward.

Marty will be remembered for his humor, compassion, and unwavering love for his family and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
