JOEY DEAN PRUITT

A big man is not made by the size of his body, but by the size of his heart. 
Joey Dean Pruitt was a big man with a big heart. He was born to the union of 
Doris Averett & George Pruitt on November 13, 1963 in Delhi, LA. He passed 
from this life at his home outside of Crowville on March 20, 2017, after a 
lengthy illness. A memorial service honoring his life will be held on 
Thursday, March 23, 2017 in the chapel of Cox Funeral Home in Delhi at 7:00 
PM with Bro. Todd Perry officiating.

Family will receive friends between the hours of 5 PM until 7PM on Thursday 
at Cox Funeral Home.

Joey spent his adult years building a life and family with his wife of 
almost 30 years, Diane Garner Pruitt. While Joey worked as a heavy equipment 
operator and Diane as a nurse, they were proud to raise three fine sons, all 
whom have now started families of their own. Joey is survived by his wife, 
Diane; and his sons and their wives- Brian & Jennifer Garner of Crowville; 
Heath & Kallie Pruitt of Crowville and Hunter & Indya Pruitt of Delhi. But 
the light in Joey's eyes for the last two years came from the overwhelming 
love he felt for his three grandchildren-Brian & Jennifer's son, Tucker 
Garner; and Hunter & Indya's daughters, Peyton & Josephine Pruitt. These 
three did no wrong in Joey's eyes and he was well on his way to teaching 
them his motto of, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for 
permission."

Joey was preceded in death by his parents, and his older brother George 
Pruitt Jr. of Monroe.

He is also survived by his sister, Sandra Englerth and husband Don of 
Gilbert, LA, brother Paul Pruitt of Delhi; special niece, Taylor Payne and 
husband Daniel of Walker, LA; his loving mother-in-law, Sue Bush of 
Crowville; and his two spoiled labradors, Avery & Sister.
