Jeffrey David Pruitt Sr.

We celebrate the life and memory of Jeffrey David Pruitt Sr., age 62. He was born on December 6, 1961 in Cumming, GA to the late Dean and Jackie Pruitt. In addition to his parents, Jeff was preceded in death by his sister, Lynne Pruitt Powers and his granddaughter, Everleigh Gayle Haymore. Survivors include his wife, Connie Fife Pruitt; daughter, Allison Pruitt; daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Josh Haymore; daughter and son-in-law, Annie and Gunner Wood; son, Jacob Vlad Pruitt; son and daughter-in-law, Jeffrey and Hannah Pruitt; 12 grandchildren; brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Bonita Pruitt; and numerous nieces and nephews. Jeff was a man whose generous spirit and concern for others touched the lives of many. He and Connie just celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary and have resided in Dahlonega, GA for 21 years. Jeff was a proud Dad to his five children and an extra proud Papa to his many grandchildren. He cherished spending time with his family and always wanted them to know how proud of them he was. Throughout his life, Jeff left a mark of love, laughter, and encouragement in the hearts of those he encountered.

Jeff worked for Lanier Technical College for 14 years. He was a loyal and dedicated Ramsey Conference Center Director. His strong work ethic was admired and appreciated by all who worked with him as well as by his clients. He had the ability to make everyone around him feel important. His dedication and hard work were not limited to his professional life but were also evident in his personal endeavors. As an active member in his community, Jeff’s love for people was reciprocated by all who met him.

He was a man who wore many hats. In addition to husband, dad, papa, and Director, one of his favorite hats to put on was his Farmer hat. He loved checking on his cows, driving his tractor, and spending time at the farm.

He was a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ and attended Christ Family Church. If anyone would like to make a donation to a ministry that Jeff was passionate about, he had requested that they be made to “The Fellowship of Christian Athletes” (FCA) at our UNG Dahlonega campus where the Lord has called his son-in-law and daughter, Josh and Sarah Haymore, to serve. You can donate online at “my.fca.org” and search “Josh Haymore”, or write a check made out to “Fellowship of Christian Athletes” with “UNG-1081 9X10” in the memo line.
