Thomas Joseph Taborek, age 83, passed into eternal life on Monday, April 14, 2025, in Yukon, Oklahoma.

He was born Feb. 17, 1942, in El Reno, Oklahoma, a son of the late Edward and Mary Francis (Michalicka) Taborek.

Thomas was raised on a farm near Yukon where he resided and worked for his entire life, farming and ranching. He was a member of Banner Co-op and St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church in Yukon. Tommy enjoyed everything farm related, from studying different seeds to planting, growing and harvesting his wheat. He loved making his rounds, checking his cattle most of all.

Playing for a higher spot in the upcoming Class 5A playoffs, El Reno High School’s baseball team pulled off one of its biggest doubleheader sweeps in close to a decade, taking two games from Guthrie.

El Reno snapped a five-game losing streak to the Bluejays with an 8-6 road win, then backed it up with a 7-3 victory at the Hub Reed Complex.

“We’ve battled through a lot of injury issues this year and we were able to keep it together against a solid Guthrie squad and win these two important district games,” said El Reno head coach Keith Hill.
