With unimaginable sadness and broken hearts, we share that John gained his wings and went to be with the Lord on November 8th, 2025.

Words cannot begin to express the pain and heartbreak our family is feeling at his loss. John was an incredible young man—selfless, kind, caring, and always putting others before himself. He had a heart of pure gold and touched the lives of everyone who knew him.

John passed away in New York, far from home, and the cost to bring him back to Oklahoma has been more than the we expected. In addition to transportation, funeral and service expenses have quickly become overwhelming.

We are reaching out with humility and love, asking for support during this devastating time.

Please consider helping my sister and her family lay her son to rest and give John the farewell he so deeply deserves.

No donation is too small, and every bit of support—whether financial, through prayers, or by sharing this page—means the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and for helping us honor John’s beautiful life.

We are having John’s celebration of life on Friday November 14th from 6:30-8 at LifeChurch Stillwater. We would love for you to come celebrate John’s amazing life with us.

John’s funeral service will be November 15th at 2pm at the Blackburn Chapel Baptist Church 36305 Lake Road Shawnee Oklahoma
