It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Keith Pritchett, age 53, of Stilwell, Oklahoma, who left this world on December 23, 2025. Born on October 3, 1972, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Brian was a cherished member of the Cherokee community and a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend.

Growing up in the tight-knit town of Stilwell, Brian's early years were filled with the joy of sports, where he developed a love for softball, football, and volleyball. A proud graduate of Stilwell High School, he made lifelong friends and created countless memories in the fields and courts of his youth.

Brian was a dedicated member of Calvary Southern Baptist Church, where he found strength and solace, sharing not only his faith but also his generous spirit with those around him. His warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Cherry Pritchett, and their two loving sons, Tyre Ford and Trey Pritchett. Brian found immense joy in being a grandfather, proudly doting on his three granddaughters: Andraya Ford, Tylee Ford, and Izziona Sam. He is also survived by his brothers Jimmy and Mark Pritchett and his sister Regina Pritchett, all of whom will hold his memory close to their hearts.
