John Edwin Trubey (JET), a man of faith, kindness, integrity, compassion, and unwavering dedication and love for his family and community, passed away on January 24, 2025.

He was born in Maryville, Missouri to parents Susanne (Stapp) Trubey and Donald Wayne Trubey and the family later moved to New Mexico then to Oklahoma which he considered home.  John was known to most who knew him as JET.  He led a full life filled with love, excitement, and adventure.  He began skiing at the age of two and was by far the fastest on the mountain.  Growing up in a musical home and worshipping in a church with acapella gospel inspired JET's love of singing and he could play any instrument he picked up. However, drums were his passion. He was in the marching band in high school and in boot camp for the Navy.  He played and performed in many bands, but his favorite was playing on the worship team at church.

JET found fulfillment in service to his country.  He joined the Navy at age 18, received an MA in National Security and Strategy from the U.S. Naval War College, and worked as Senior Analyst for the Government Accounting Office (GAO) for 21 years.

His time in service and passion for musical performance were demonstrative of the joy JET experienced by bringing a smile to others' faces. He was admired for his sense of humor and positivity that shown like a light in the darkness. He knew no strangers; JET was a friend to all. He was a loving bandmate, colleague, husband, and father. To know JET was a gift.

His greatest joy was his family.  His wife and best friend, Myrna, and his sons John Pearce and Daniel traveled, worshiped, created art, played music, camped, learned, decorated, gardened, worked on their home, and so much more…. together.
