John Stephen Pritchett was born on November 2, 1953 in Pembroke, Bermuda passed away on June 23, 2021.

John grew up in Bermuda with his older sisters, Anna Louise Abell and Janet Thelma Phillips, by his maternal aunt, Joy Louise Doughty and maternal grandparents, William and Maria Doughty. He attended Bermuda Institute and was a fireman with the Hamilton Bermuda Fire Brigade. In his 20s, he moved to Virginia Beach, VA and lived with his father, Elmer Carson Pritchett, and sisters, Barbara Lee Viohl and family. His other sister, Rose Marie Payne and her family lived nearby. Later, he lived on a sailboat in Virginia Beach for many years and worked installing security systems. In 2010, he moved to his house in Crossville, TN. He was active in Bethlehem Baptist Church for a few years, and he was a member of the Cumberland Plateau Amateur Radio Club. He loved Tennessee and the friends he made there.

He was preceded in death by his Aunty Joy, his parents, grandparents, and a half-brother, Edward Calloway. He is survived by his four sisters, his brother-in-law, Robert David Abell, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Next year, when his older sister, Anna, visits Bermuda with her family, they will spread his ashes in the ocean.
