Visit the Provident Funeral Home - Ogden website to view the full obituary.
Dean Allen Pruitt passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Feb. 6, 2023 after a courageous 4 year battle with cancer. Dean was born on May 3rd, to Jenny Lee and William Charles Owen Jr. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was adopted by Holly Jo Reynolds and Jack Pruitt and moved to Inglewood, California. Dean was incredibly athletic and talented at sports, especially football. He was the captain of the Inglewood High Football team and recruited to the University of Utah football team. Thus began Dean's true devotion and love of the Utah Utes. He married Wendy Mower and together they had three children: Trey Landon Pruitt, Tawnice Lashawn Pruitt (Henderson), and Trevyn Dean Pruitt.



Dean had a successful plumbing career and loved teaching, training and helping others. Dean was very friendly and enjoyed joking around with others. He had a contagious smile and laugh. He could discuss sports at great lengths and was a very dedicated fan of the Raiders, Lakers and University of Utah. Many of his friendships were forged through his love of playing and watching sports. He was a very loyal friend and would do anything for the people he loved. Above all, Dean had immense love for his family, children, and grandchildren. His grandson, Julius, asked if he could take his iPad with him to heaven so they could FaceTime there. Dean was able to spend his last years with his sweetheart, Shelly Kimbell. His family is extremely grateful to her for her love and support.



Dean is preceded in death by his mothers: Jenny Lee and Holly Jo Reynolds and his brother Tyler Williams. He is survived by his children: Trey (Adriana) Pruitt, Tawnice (Jonathan) Henderson, and Trevyn Pruitt. His grandchildren: McKenzie, Jayda, Julius and Jamel. And also his siblings: Stacie Forbes Monique Williams, Mandy Daley, Deanetta Ali, Mike Pruitt, and Randi Chandler.



Thank you to Dr. Jonathan Whisenant, hospice, and all the medical staff.
