Carnies “Bubba” Pruett Jr., 59, passed away Wednesday, August 31, 2022, at his home. He was born June 11, 1963 in Drew, MS to the late Carnies Pruett Sr. and the late Hazel Frazier Fikes. He worked at Mueller Copper Tubing for many years. Bubba began his life in the Delta being the only boy of 8 children. He was spoiled by his sisters and loved them all greatly. As he grew up he made several friends, but he said Terry Grantham was his brother from another mother. Bubba had a big heart. He even provided a home for some that were down and out.
The love of his life is Anne, until he had his boys. He always loved Anne with all his heart, but when he had his boys they were his life. He is so proud of the men they have grown to be. He loved his daughter in laws, didn’t feel like they were his daughter in laws, but his daughters. Then came his grandkids and they are is world. No matter how much pain he was in or how bad he felt, he would push harder for his grandkids. They brought him so much joy. He was a wonderful Pops. He was patient, kind, loving and a jokester. There are not enough words to describe how much he loved his family and how much we love him.
Private family memorial service will be this Saturday at Crossroads Church.
