REPOST FROM SHELLY PRUITT

July 1, 2018

We all lost a great man yesterday. Leroy Pruitt, Christian, Father, husband and my best friend. He was peaceful, kind and loving to those he cared for. For over 29 years we were married. We always talked, listened and respected each other. Worked hard and had fun. He paved the way for a lot of people to create a life they loved in the outdoors, myself included, a fisherman, horseman and “Real life Cowboy” he lived life to the fullest and on his own terms but never had regrets nor treated people with out respect, not always agreeing with their point of view, but giving them the respect to disagree. Many people ask me why I would marry a man 30 years older than me, he brought me to Jesus and I learned that life is eternal so years didn’t matter. Love is love. That is what we knew love. He prepared me for today, we talked and listened to each other , still a hard day, but in time things will work out. I will just “cowgirl up” and move forward as I promised him. Roy didn’t want any kind of service, if the family decides to for once over ride his desires we’ll let you know.
