Ralph Thomas Pritts , 80, of Rector passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loved

ones on September 16, 2026. He was born March 26, 1946, to Ralph and Anna Mae Pritts.

Tom was someone who was the life of the party, always ready with a laugh, a good story, and a

way of making the people around him smile. He enjoyed life immensely, cherished his friends,

and loved his family deeply. Tom was a legend in his families eyes and will surely be missed by

the people he cared about most.

Tom is survived by his son, Troy Pritts and his wife, Colleen Pritts; grandchildren Kiley Mister (

Charles Mister) , J.T. Pritts ( Meredith Pritts) , Logan Pritts and Aaron Pritts; great-

grandchildren, Boone Mister, Eli Pritts and Nora Pritts.

His beloved companion Lynne Bowers; and his brother, Larry Pritts.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 39 years, Debra Pritts, and his parents, Ralph and Anna

Mae Pritts.

Tom leaves behind a family and many friends who will remember him for his humor, his love of

a good time, and the joy he brought into their lives. He will be missed, but the stories, laughs

and memories he gave to those who knew him will live on.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you go make a great memory, have some fun, and enjoy the

people you love.

Per Tom Pritts’ request, a private interment service was held at Snowball Cemetery.
