Peter Evans Pratt, Jr. "Pito"
1963- 2018
Peter Evans Pratt, Jr., 54, father, brother, son, uncle and friend, died suddenly on Friday, February 2, 2018. Peter was born July 15, 1963, to Peter Evans Pratt (deceased) and Anne Winterbotham Pratt. Pito attended Pooh Corner, Awty International School, and graduated from the Kinkaid School. Pito went on to the University of Texas and graduated in 1986, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. From UT he went on to earn a degree from St. Mary's University School of Law with a JD.
Pito's world was his three beloved children, Charles Fletcher Pratt, Shreve Stewart Pratt, and Alexis Grace Pratt. He was a great conversationalist and counsel for all of his children. His comforting nature will be one of the his most missed traits. Always the loudest voice in the room, he was passionate about many things, especially his comic book collection.
Pito loved being an attorney, and several of his happiest times were had while working towards his many professional achievements. He worked diligently and painstakingly to build a practice that made his children proud of him.
In the past several years, he had enjoyed spending time in Cloudcroft, New Mexico and looked forward to having his children join him when time allowed. When in Houston he could be found keeping his favorite brother, Jody Pratt, company and entertaining the whole house.
Pito is survived by his children, mother, brother, mother of his children, Catherine Pratt, brother-in-law, Jeb Bashaw, his nephew, Travis Bashaw, and niece, Mason Clelland and her husband, Lane Clelland. He was preceded in death by his dad, Peter, grandparents Alice and Fletcher Pratt, grandparents John and Wandy Winterbotham, and his beloved brother Scott Pratt and sister Kim Bashaw. He also leaves behind his favorite pets, Spotz McKenzie and Sasha, both of whom brought a smile to his face.
Friends are invited to attend a memorial service February 6, 2018 at 2p.m at St. John the Divine Episcopal Church, 2450 River Oaks Blvd, Houston, TX 77019. Following the service, the family will receive friends in the adjacent Sumners Hall. There will be a private subsequent interment at Galveston Memorial Park in Hitchcock at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gifts be made to either the HDSA Center of Excellence at University of Texas Health Science Center, 6410 Fannin, Suite 1014, Houston TX 77030 c/o Erin Furr Stimming MD, or the Huntington's Disease Society of America, 505 Eighth Avenue, Suite 902, New York, NY 10018 or www.hdsa.org.

Missing you today, dear Pito. I have some new clean jokes you'll enjoy. Cats and dogs; teacher ask the little to use the word "bitter" in a sentence; sailor walks into a bar; three men walk into a bar; a rabbi, Protestant minister and a priest....and so forth. Our lingua franca. I'll pray them hard to you, sweetheart, and listen well for a laughing reply.

I was very fond of Pito, Kim and Scotty....I know he really cared about his kids. Sorry this is posted so late, I did hear the news but I just thought of looking it up online. Compassion to his closest survivors. He was indeed a unique individual and we had many conversations about collectible comic books. I wish I could call him today.

Peter was on of the most intelligent, unique, talented men, whom I have ever known. He loved engaging in legal combat, and had ideas which were definitely outside any box. I will miss our opportunities to talk, text, email and otherwise communicate. I cannot adequately express my sorrow and my sympathy for his family.

R.I.P. Peter! He was always so kind to me. I've known Peter for about 17 yrs. We've worked in the same office building, on 2 separate occasions. Prayers and condolences to the family!

I'm so incredibly sad for the loss of Pito. He had such a great dry wit and kind heart. He and Cathy were always such good friends to me. Pito had a lot of heartbreak in his life and I know he is at peace. This is a great photo of him and how I will always remember him. I'm sorry I cannot attend the service today. My prayers for peace and comfort go out to the family and Cathy.

Pito was one of the good ones. When my brother John was in the hospital and we did not know if my brother would survive, Pito contacted me to reassure me and express his hope for John's recovery which really meant a lot to me. When I needed reassurance, Pito was there. He was generous in so many ways including his empathy for others. We were lucky to have him for as long as we did.

When my brother John was in the hospital after my brother had his heart problem, and we didn't know if my brother John would survive, Peto was one of the people that contacted me to reassure me and express his hope that my brother John would come out of it okay. Peto's words were comforting to me then. Peto was a good man and will be greatly missed.
