Bob Pratt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sawyer-Fuller Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Sep. 26, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Robert W. Pratt, age 77 of Berkley Michigan, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2025, surrounded by the boundless love of his family.

Bob was a loving husband to his wife, Barb A. Pratt, a proud father to his son, Anthony (Tony) Pratt, and a deeply cherished grandfather to William Ransom Pratt, who illuminated his life. He also leaves behind 6 nieces and nephews and 11 great-nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved deeply.

A hard driven and passionate individual, Bob built his career as a commercial loan officer. He also pursued his dream by being a test car driver--a role that ignited his passion for automobiles. He was a connoisseur of classic cars and could often be found inspiring others with his stories, polishing chrome and basking in the camaraderie of fellow car enthusiasts.

Outside of work, Bob was happiest on the golf course surrounded by friends or generously giving his time to support The LaSalette Boosters. His infectious laughter, unwavering loyalty and steadfast presence will be cherished by all who were blessed to know him.

Bob's life will be celebrated in a profound way as he is laid to rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery on October 2nd at 2:30pm. In a beautiful tribute to his heritage, an Irish Wake will be held on November 2nd at 1:00pm at the Stan Fon's American Legion Post 374 located at 2079 W 12 Mile Rd, Berkley, MI.

Though he has left this world, Bob's extraordinary legacy of love, faith, and family will powerfully endure in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

Memorial contributions appreciated to The Berkley American Legion, Post 374.
