Anthony Wayne Laughlin

Anthony Wayne Laughlin, 57-year-old Vinita resident, passed away Friday, August 30th, 2024, surrounded by family. He was born May 26, 1967, in Winfield, Kansas to Thomas Ray and Sherry Ann (Albert) Laughlin. 

Anthony worked many years as an automotive mechanic. He had a love for the outdoors and a fondness for frogs. He was always tinkering with something. If something didn’t work, he would make it work. Anthony also didn’t have a mean bone in his body until you crossed a line and then he would let you know it. He loved his family dearly. 

Anthony is survived by his spouse, Anissa Partain, of the home; children, Michael Laughlin (Ashley) of Bartlesville, Brandi Laughlin (Tanner Pursley) of Oswego, Kansas, Heather Laughlin of Jay, Oklahoma, Benjamin Laughlin (Lana) of Bartlesville, Taylor Ramaker (Dakota Potter) of Vinita, and Desirae Laughlin of Vinita; sister, Christina Sammarco (Matthew) of Eucha; brother, Mike Laughlin (Tina) of Nowata; 16 grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. 

A graveside service will be held Thursday, September 26, 2024, at 11:00 A.M. in the McMains Cemetery. Online condolences may be made at www. Honoringmemoriesvinita.com or on the funeral home Facebook page. 

Arrangements are in the care of Luginbuel Funeral Home of Vinita. “Family owned. Locally operated.”
