John Rabbit, born on June 7, 1991, in Claremore, Oklahoma, left this world far
too soon, on August 14, 2025, at the age of 34, in Pryor, Oklahoma.
He was a
gentle giant, beloved for his sweet and kind nature. John’s heart was as big as
his stature, making him a cherished presence among family and friends. John
graduated from Pryor High School in 2009, a milestone that set the stage for the
life he would lead. For many years, he dedicated himself to working at the Pryor
lumber yard, where his commitment and hard work spoke to his character. His
colleagues remember him not just for his reliability but also for the warmth he
brought into the workplace. Outside of work, John enjoyed watching sports his
favorite being the Seattle Seahawks and had a passion for wrestling as he always
attended “support wrestling for a cause”, always cheering enthusiastically for
his teams. He found great joy in watching as well as playing baseball. John was
an avid collector of Funko POP’s and enjoyed collecting all different kinds of
Zippos. Above all, John loved his family fiercely.
John is survived by his loving family, who will remember him fondly. His mother,
Evelyn Rabbit, of the home located in Chouteau, Oklahoma, alongside his
grandmother Juanita Rabbit, who also lives in Chouteau. John leaves behind an
aunt, Anita "Bunnie" McLain, and her husband Russell, who are also of Chouteau,
Oklahoma. John also will be remembered by a host of extended family and friends
that will miss him immensely. Their lives will be forever touched by the love
and kindness John shared with them.
John is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, John Rabbit, whose
memories will remain a guiding light for all who are mourning. He also is
proceeded in death by his beloved dog, Bane, who passed away in January. As we

gentle heart, and the kindness that defined his life. He touched the lives of
