Clifford Lee Pritt Jr., age 31, of Marion, died Thursday, October 21, 2010, at his residence.
On January 20, 1979, Jr. was born in Marion, Ohio, the son of Clifford Lee Pritt Sr. He was a graduate of Marion Harding High School in the Class of 1998.
Jr. was a member of the Full Gospel Christian Church in Marion and also attended Richland Road Church of Christ.
Loving to work with his hands, Jr. was very artistic, especially when working with clay. He made many ceramic animals and always painted them when he was finished.
Jr. enjoyed watching all types of movies, especially cartoons, always recoding them onto VHS cassettes. He also had a large music collection, with gospel music being his favorite.
Always loving to be around people, Jr. would talk to anyone. He was known by everyone at Marion General Hospital and even helped out with some of the hospital after care groups. He always made it a point to treat everyone how he wanted to be treated. Jr. was a “big, loveable, huggable, teddy bear.”
