On 7 February 2019, the most loving, caring, and considerate person left us to be with his mom Nicci and wife Trish in heaven. Gary J. Pritchard was born on the 11th of December 1956 and passed away on 7 February 2019. Gary was born in Sumpter S.C. and was currently living in Laurel Hill, Fl. He leaves behind his daughter Alyssa and his granddaughter Lake of Crestview and son Kristoffer of Louisiana. His beloved Meg, and his best friend Les, will miss him forever. He also said goodbye to his dad Gordon J. Pritchard of Mary Esther, FL. His brother Miles, and Miles's wife Lori, nieces Lauren, Megan, and Katie of Xenia Ohio. His sister Mellony and her husband Gary of Crestview. Nephew Jereme Kuester of Niceville and niece KayLynn Kuester of Destin, FL. Gary will also be missed by numerous friends and associates.
Gary was very proud of being an Air Force veteran. Among his various duties he was a Weapons Loader Specialist. He retired in 10-01-2002. After retiring, Gary pursued an Associates Degree in Science and Art .
Gary was an gifted painter and a talented oragami creator. His other hobbies included woodworking and spending time with his granddaughter. Gary was the first one to volunteer to help anyone that was in need.

Gary in Tech School Lowry AFB 1982

I was scanning old photos from Tech School at Lowry AFB and thought of Gary. I looked up his name and was sorry to hear he passed. Gary was the oldest guy in our class and we called him "Dad". He was a great guy and always kept us on the right path. I too retired from the AF back in 2005. Take care Gary.
