Bryan Harkins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Barnes-Friederich & Pope Funeral Home - Midwest City on Jan. 30, 2026.
Bryan Harkins, known for being a constant and loving husband, son, brother, and uncle, passed away at the age of 34 on January 25, 2026. He was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Wes Harkins and Alvenia (Dunning) Robichaud.

He has worked at Tinker Air Force Base since 2014, most recently in the role of a civilian Electroplater.

Bryan was a wonderful man who was deeply loved and admired by everyone who knew him. Though quiet by nature, he had an effortless and memorable sense of humor-when he spoke, he could bring an entire room to laughter. Time spent with Bryan was always meaningful, and his presence had a way of making people feel at ease.

He had many passions and hobbies. Bryan enjoyed collecting video games, figurines, and musical instruments, and he could play a tune on nearly any instrument he picked up within minutes. He loved spending time outdoors and was naturally mechanical, often dedicating weekends to working on cars and ATVs. He also had a deep love for animals and found joy in their companionship.

Bryan is survived by his wife, Paige; his parents, Alvenia (Dunning) Robichaud and Wes Harkins; his sisters, Ashley Koehler and Erika Harkins; and his nephews, Donovan and Micah.

He will be remembered for his kindness, his humor, his talents, and the steady, loving way he showed up for those around him. Bryan's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
