Cedric “Son” Dean Prairie Chief Jr., lovingly known to many as “Son,” passed away on Saturday, November 16, 2024, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at the age of 47. Son was born on January 21, 1977, in Culbertson, Montana, to Cedric and Phyllis Faye (Buck Elk) Prairie Chief Sr., and was a proud member of the Native American Church.

Known for his kind heart and warm spirit, Son enjoyed the great outdoors, often spending time hunting, fishing, and sharing laughter with family and friends. His infectious smile and genuine kindness left a lasting impression on everyone he met; no one ever had a bad word to say about him.

Son is survived by his parents, Cedric and Phyllis Prairie Chief of Clinton; two brothers, David Prairie Chief and his wife Christy of Clinton, and Favian Prairie Chief, also of Clinton. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him.
