Bryan Prather Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stumpff Funeral Home & Crematory - Bartlesville on Mar. 18, 2026.
Bryan Nolan Prather, age 71, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, passed away on [insert date].

He was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, on September 12, 1954, to Robert and Martha Prather. Bryan was lovingly raised by his grandparents, Charles and Edith Bryan, right here in Bartlesville.

He attended Bartlesville Public Schools and graduated with the Class of 1972. Shortly after, Bryan proudly served in the United States Army from 1972 to 1973. Following his service, he attended Oklahoma State University, where he earned his associate degree.

Bryan had a lifelong love for the outdoors-especially hunting, fishing, and playing sports whenever he could. His career took him across the United States as an independent contractor for Royal Oil Company, based out of Fort Worth, Texas.

Bryan will be remembered for his hard work, adventurous spirit, and the deep love he had for his family and hometown.
