William "Wayne" Pruett Obituary (1950 - 2023)

William Wayne Pruett entered the arms of Jesus on September 12, 2023, in Grapevine, TX surrounded by family and friends at the age of 73. Wayne was born June 20, 1950, the son of the late J.D. Pruett and Frances Hardin Pruett in Jackson, TN. He spent the majority of his life between Alamo and Jackson, TN before relocating to Roanoke, TX in 2019. Wayne served in the Army and later devoted the majority of his career to working as a diesel mechanic at Wonder Bread and installing garage doors after retirement. Wayne was an avid member of the Jackson Elks Lodge 192 and enjoyed grilling, golfing, hunting, horses, and fishing over the years. Wayne also spent numerous hours fundraising for many charitable organizations and enjoyed helping others. However, his true happiness resided in being surrounded by the company of family and friends and most of all his loving wife Kay. He was loved by all, would light up any room, and always had the best one-liners. Wayne was also a great husband, dad, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He was truly one of a kind. Wayne was preceded in death by his brothers Johnny Pruett of Maury City, TN, Danny Pruett of Trenton, TN, and Gene Pruett of Jackson, TN. Wayne is survived by his loving wife Kay Pruett of 35 years of Roanoke, TX; sons Dewayne Pruett and fiance Kim Chaffin of Gallatin, TN and Jason Pruett of Jackson, TN, and daughter Tiffany Bolton and her husband John Bolton of Haslet, TX; sisters Betty Manley (Larry) of Jackson, TN and Sandra Exum of Trenton, TN; and his beloved grandchildren Jacob Fancher, Colton Wallace, Julia Wallace, Brandon Pruett, Sloane Bolton, and Beckett Bolton and many nieces and nephews. Memorial Service will be held October 14, 2023, at Elks Lodge 192 in Jackson, TN from 3-6 PM. The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, contributions be directed to their church building fund where Wayne and Kay were active members in building a new church community in Roanoke, TX.
