His infectious grin, contagious laugh, and immense heart left an indelible mark on those who knew him. Described as a friend to everyone, John never hesitated to lend a helping hand; he would go above and beyond for anyone in need.

He is also remembered by his siblings: Matt and Jay Mercer, along with their respective families, and his sister, Ginni Scott, and her husband Ken of Frisco, TX. Additionally, he leaves behind ten nieces and nephews and two great-nephews. A Celebration of Life for John will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at the Exhibit Building in Kingfisher, with burial to follow at Kingfisher Cemetery.
