Thomas Pratt Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on December 13, 1951, in Niagara Falls, New York, Tom was the son of the late William and Evelyn (Charbonneau) Pratt Sr. On April 27, 1973, he married the love of his life, Melanie, and together they built a home rooted in laughter, faith, and love.
Tom spent many years in the papermaking industry, where his hard work and dedication led him to a supervisory role. Later in life, he worked for a time at Hillview Mini Barns. In his retirement, he found great purpose and much joy in helping his son, Gabriel, at the Pratt Family Greenhouse. He approached every job with a strong work ethic and a generous heart.
A gifted storyteller and a man of deep faith, Tom was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather. He leaves behind a legacy of unwavering faith and a family grounded in the love of Jesus.
Tom will be dearly missed and forever cherished by all who knew him.
