Looks like Officer Turman is thinking about saddling up for some extra duty at the Oklahoma State Fair! 🐴👮‍♀️

Caught horsing around with a four-legged friend, she’s keeping the peace one NEIGH-bor at a time. 🎡

How Bob Funk Sr. strengthened foundation for Oklahoma City to become big-league city Bob Funk Sr. didn't bring the Thunder or Olympics to OKC. But without him, here's why our sports scene might never have reached these heights.

With heavy hearts, we celebrate the life and impact of our co-founder and former president, Bob Funk Sr. His grit, dedication, and passion for Oklahoma leave a legacy. Bob Funk Sr. was one of the last true cowboys, and the Clydesdale Barn stands as a testament to his philanthropic works and giving spirit. We will continue to live out his mission for the Clydesdales to serve as goodwill ambassadors for Express Employment Professionals and Express Ranches.

“I respect and admire these gentle giants and enjoy seeing kids’ sense of awe when they are up close to these majestic animals.” - Bob Funk

It is with deep sorrow that I share the passing of my dad and longtime leader, Bob Funk Sr.

Dad was a true original in every sense of the word. A bold entrepreneur, a tireless advocate for people, and a man who embodied the spirit of the American West. With his signature cowboy hat and unshakable determination, he helped build Express into what it is today: a beacon of hope.

More than a business leader, he was a man of deep faith, unwavering integrity, and clear vision. He believed in the dignity of work and the potential in every person. His passion for helping people find purpose through employment defined our mission from the very beginning and continues to inspire all we do.
Dad’s legacy lives on in the culture he helped create, in the lives he changed, and in the values he instilled in this organization. Although his passing leaves a profound void, his example of courage, generosity, and perseverance will guide us forward.

We will share details about funeral arrangements as they become available.

During this time, your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated. We will honor his memory by continuing his legacy by loving our families dearly, serving our clients diligently, meeting their needs enthusiastically, and caring for each other.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Bob Funk Jr.
Chief Executive Officer and President
