Kenneth Edward Gordon Pratt

Ken was born on November 7, 1940, in Neilburg, Saskatchewan to Horace and Margaret Pratt. Ken leaves behind, the love of his life, Barb (60+ years together); his children Gord (Terry) Pratt, Karen (George) Hackle & Sandy (Wayne) DeBruin; his grandchildren Trevor (Sam Robson) Pratt, Kelly Pratt, Shane Pratt, Amy Hackle, and April Hackle.

He is survived by his brother Bud (Jill) Pratt (Australia); his sisters, Shirley Lemcke, Andrea Martin, and Jean Pratt. Ken is fondly remembered by many nieces & nephews on both sides of his family.

Ken enjoyed his 35 year career with BC Forest Service. A big part of his work was his dedication and knowledge in the fight against forest fires. It took him and the family to several towns throughout BC--Fort Langley, Port Moody, Powell River, Hope, Maple Ridge and Telkwa. After retiring in Smithers in 1996, Ken and Barb then settled in Prince George in 2006.

Ken was known as one who was always willing to help friends, family and all the curling clubs he was affiliated with over the years. He had a great love of curling, hockey (season ticket holder for the PG Spruce Kings), wood working, and helping his family in their various projects over the years. Ken & Barb enjoyed time at their cabin, camping, motorhome trips across Canada, and their trips to Mexico, England, Ireland and their visits to Bud and Jill, in Australia.

We would like to thank the staff at Prince George Hospital for their great care during his many trips over the last couple years.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate any donations to Diabetes Canada or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A Celebration of Ken’s Life will be held Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 3 pm at Assman’s Funeral Chapel , 1908 Queensway, Prince George. Friends and family are welcome for a social gathering at Karen’s home following the service.
