Austin Craig Stoner, 37, of Harrah, Oklahoma, formerly of Clinton, passed away Friday, April 10, 2026, in Clinton, Oklahoma.
Austin was born June 25, 1988, in Weatherford, Oklahoma, to Timothy Craig Stoner and Cheri Lynne (Snider). He was raised in Clinton, where he graduated from Clinton High School in 2007. During his high school years, Austin made his mark both on and off the field, excelling in football and earning three gold rings as a proud member of the Clinton Red Tornadoes— something he carried with pride throughout his life.
On October 1, 2023, he married the love of his life, Brandy Randolph, in Luther, Oklahoma. Together they built a life filled with laughter, love, and shared adventures. Austin called Clinton, Oklahoma City, and most recently Harrah home, leaving a lasting impression in each place through his work and friendships.
Austin was employed at Boardman, Inc. in Oklahoma City where he worked as fabricator and specialty welder. He also worked in construction and roughnecking in the oilfield, where his skills and strong work ethic were respected by those who worked alongside him.
At heart, Austin never lost his sense of adventure and wonder. He was the kind of person who could talk for hours about dinosaurs, the mysteries of the universe, or his favorite music. He loved playing video games, working out, hiking, and spending time with his dogs. Whether it was discovering something new or revisiting something he loved, Austin embraced life with curiosity and enthusiasm. Music was a constant in his life, and he had a special appreciation for the artistry of Maynard James Keenan.
More than anything, Austin will be remembered for his spirit — his humor, his passion, and the way he connected with people. He had a way of making others feel at ease, sharing laughs, and creating memories that will not be forgotten.
He was proceeded in death by maternal Grandfather William Lynn (Bill) Snider; paternal Grandmother Lois Jane Stoner; paternal Grandfather Milton Elwood (Woody) Stoner; maternal uncle William Alan Snider and cousin Jason Goucher.
Austin is survived by his loving wife, Brandy Stoner of the home; his son, Raiden Stoner of Perkins, Oklahoma; and his daughter, Hayley Ryker of the home. He is also survived by his mother, Cheri Lynne Lady and husband Russell of Weatherford; his father, Timothy Stoner of Clinton; and brother Dillon Stoner and wife Ashli of Clinton and their children Zella and Cory Stoner and his maternal grandmother, Kay Morrison of Clinton, along with many extended family members and friends who will deeply miss him.
The family invites friends to join them for a time of visitation at Lee Hometown Funeral Home in Clinton from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Thursday, April 16, 2026. Guests are encouraged to bring stories, pictures, and memories of Austin to share as they honor his life.
A celebration of Austin’s life will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 4:30 PM at Kingdom City Church, 2212 SW 55th Street in Oklahoma City. The church will provide refreshments, food, and time for family and friends to gather, reflect, and share how Austin touched their lives.
The family has requested those attending these memorial services in honor to please wear something dinosaur or Godzilla related, Austin had such a passion for both.
