Bradley Joseph Pruitt, born on December 7, 1973, passed away on August 9, 2025. A cherished son, brother, father, and friend, he left us too soon but his vibrant spirit and infectious sense of humor will always be remembered. Known for his smile that could light up any room, Brad never left anyone with a dull moment.

He is survived by his beloved daughters, Paityn Pruitt, Briley Pruitt, and Keegan Pruitt; his five caring sisters, Michelle Thomas (Bradley), Melissa Spencer (James), Melanie Wilson (Patrick), Laura Thornton (Matt), Stephanie Ferguson (Matt) and several nieces and nephews. Brad was predeceased by his doting parents, Steve and Cathy Meeks.

Brad was a dynamic individual whose love for baseball was nothing short of an obsession. Known for his wicked fastball, he often left those up to bat standing empty-handed, leading to numerous shutouts and records. His passion for the sport was not only an accomplishment but also a legacy he passed on to his daughters. They, too, have developed a profound love for the sport their father so adored, making this shared passion one of Brad’s greatest accomplishments in life.

Aside from the baseball diamond, Brad also had a passion for drag racing. He was always ready for a race, whether it was on the track or a spontaneous meet at the stoplight. His competitive spirit coupled with his sense of humor made him a joyous presence within the drag race community.

A firm believer in perseverance and hard work, Brad always reminded those around him that hard work pays off and never to give up on a dream. These lessons serve as a perpetual reminder of his resilient spirit and determination.

A Celebration of Life for Brad will be held on September 20, 2025, from 11 am to 1pm at Ed Spear Park shelter 2.Friends and family are invited to share memories and celebrate the life of a man who brought joy, resilience, and a passionate love for life into their lives.
