David George Prichard, ("Dave"), age 63, or Rotterdam, NY, passed peacefully to Jesus on March 6, 2025. He is preceded in death by his father, Arnold Prichard and survived by his Mother, Joyce Prichard, 93, of Selkirk, NY, and his loving wife, Jenette Prichard, 56, of Rotterdam, NY.
Dave was a longtime member of the Spitzie's Harley Davidson family and was a Master Mechanic for over 34 years. In the words of his longtime friend, (former) co-worker, and brother-in-law, Greg Horlbeck, "Dave was the best motorcycle mechanic you will ever find." He enjoyed long rides and "doing wheelies". He loved woodworking, was an avid knife collector, and was a friend to all animals.
Dave will be greatly missed by friends and family. Details for a celebration of his life to follow.
