Wayne Allen Pratt passed away at the age of 55 Wednesday Nov. 3, 2010, at his 
home in Slidell.

He was born in Ruleville, Miss., Dec. 29, 1956. Ruleville is a small town in 
north Mississippi. Wayne loved sports and the outdoors growing up in Ruleville.

He lettered in football, baseball and track in high school at the North 
Sunflower Academy. 

After high school he opened a Sonic Drive-in with his father in Bogalusa, where 
he met the mother of his children. They moved to Slidell where he opened the 
Burger Hop on Pontchartrain Drive. Wayne then became an insurance salesman for 
New England Life. He stayed with them for many years until deciding to work for 
himself.

Wayne loved the game of golf. He would practice or play as often as possible. He 
also enjoyed playing softball with his fellow church members at Calvary Baptist 
Church. 

Wayne lived in Slidell most of his life, and enjoyed working as a self-employed 
contractor. He liked living by his own set of rules. He was an unselfish man 
with a huge heart. He would take anyone off the streets and did so many times. 

He had one grandchild as well, Mia Paige Fogarty.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Irene Pratt.

A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Calvary Baptist 
church, 1615 Old Spanish Trail, Slidell.

Burial will be held at a later date in the Lehrton Cemetery in Ruleville, Miss.

In lieu of flowers, please make any donations to the Calvary Baptist Church. 
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

God bless Wayne Allen Pratt, he will be dearly missed.
