Samuel Charles “Buck” Pritchett entered this life on February 24, 1960 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Henry “Rusty” and Louella (Chewy) Pritchett. Along the journey of life, Buck found joy in so many things. As a young man in high school, he was able to join the ranks of being a Golden Glove Boxer. When he wasn’t in the gym, he could be found hanging out on a creek bank or spending time with friends at the Boy Scout hole. Being outdoors and enjoying nature became a lifelong comfort for him, always making time to slow down and enjoy what the world had to offer. Another passion of his was drawing, which he was quite good at and spent a lot of time doing. When football rolled around, he could be found on the couch on game day watching the best college football team around, the OU Sooners. Buck had a love for life that his family and friends will for sure miss. He ended his journey on April 9, 2020 in Fort Gibson, OK, at the age of 60, and will be laid to rest at Sands Cemetery in Chewy, OK.
Honorary pallbearers will be; John Pritchett, Steve Pritchett, Kevin Kelley, Elton Littlecook, and Carl Baskin.
