Stephen Lee Pritchett was born on May 11th, 1961 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Henry and Louella (Chewey) Pritchett. He grew up in a household with five brothers, Billie, Samuel, also known as Buck, Johnny, David and Michael. He attended school and loved the sport of boxing. He loved listening to his 70,s Rock and listened while carving on a stone, a skill he worked hard at. He was a people person, and loved talking to anyone that had the time. There were no strangers in his world, and he was always willing to help anyone who needed him. The pride and joy of his life was his son and daughter, Donnay and Chase. Any chance he had to take them to the Welling Bridge to go swimming was a good day for him. There was a stubborn streak that made him give you a run for your money if he wasn’t willing to do what you asked. Generally he was quiet and thoughtful, yet loved to joke and tease his family and friends. He found a great deal of satisfaction traveling the area, seeing what was new and making new friends. His health began to fade and he passed from this life on August 25th, 2022 in Tulsa, OK. He was 61 years old.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, his mother and father, three brothers, David and Michael Pritchett in infancy and Samuel “Buck” Pritchett and one nephew, Jeffrey Richie.
Those left to celebrate his life include his daughter, Donnay Leach of Tahlequah, OK, and son, Chase Pritchett of Stilwell, OK. He leaves his brothers, Billie Richie of Oklahoma, Johnny Pritchett and wife Sabrina of Park Hill, OK. He lives on in his nieces, Amber Owens and husband Roger of Tahlequah, Tiffany Pritchett and Makayla Pritchett both of Tahlequah, and Clarissa Taylor and husband Billy of Ponca City, OK. He also leaves many great nieces, great nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones too numerous to mention.
