Enoch Jay Limberhand “ mo’ohtavo’ha” – Blackhorse
On March 13, 2025 Enoch Limberhand  was called home to be with the Lord unexpectedly. He was devoted to and served the Lord throughout his life. On February 28th, 1970 Enoch Jay was born to Anna Blackhorse and Maurice Limberhand Sr.
Enoch grew up in Lame Deer where he also attended school.  He also attended Flandreau Indian boarding school.  He enjoyed playing Basketball, working on cars, & was a jack of all trades. He was a MIFF firefighter for Northern Cheyenne & served as a crew boss, He also worked at NCTHA. His last job was with Center Pole, with Peggy White-Wellknown Buffalo out of Garyowen He also worked briefly as a water operator in Prescott, AZ  and construction in Flagstaff, so he could be closer to his children who he held very dearly to his heart.
You would often see him in town with a bag of freshly made skillet bread or delivering an order. It didn’t last long because his bread was the BOMB.COM.
Enoch had many friends near & far while traveling to many Basketball tournaments in Indian country. Always bringing home championship jackets & trophies with his teammates Del Harris, Terry Curley, Kenny Bigback, Chuckie Sanchez, Johnny Wilson, Larry Sioux, Ray Farmer, Shawn Oldmouse. The Chain gang”.
Growing up his mother Anna was very adamant of attending the Mennonite church with all her children & participating in family camp @ Crazyheads. In 2009 Enoch attended Mountain Ministries in Kelso, WA where he began a closer walk with his Lord & Savior. During his time over there he met a lot of brothers & sisters in Christ.
