I know you are happy and rejoicing in the presence of your Savior! Until we meet again cuz. I’ll miss you here, but we will meet again!
Terry will be missed. He loved his kids and grandkids like no other. He was good to me over the years. He walked me down the aisle at my wedding. I worked with him at KFC when we were teenagers. He was the funnest boss I ever had!! Rest in peace!!! Sending prayers to the family.
Terry was such a special man who loved the Lord with all of his heart. The love he had for his parents and his children and Denise will never be forgotten. I can see him now at Heaven’s gate with his mom and a big smile on his face. Ronnie and I will miss seeing you dance with Denise with that same smile. Dance on my friend We love you

thoughts and prayers for all the family…
Karl Koon & Kay Thorp and all the Asheville Oil family send our condolences to the friends and family of Terry Pruitt. Terry was a valued employee of our company for many years before starting his own business. He remained in touch, and we used his business for pressure washing projects. We will always remember his easy going personality and the many customers he served over the years.

My Brother, Thank you for Always being there whenever I needed you. What a legacy of Love and Kindness, you have left for us all. You overcame so many burdens in your short time in this world but you never complained why me, you just took it stride and went on because that was the type of man you were. You were a true man of men who never compromised your beliefs.
I’m honored and proud to be your brother. I miss and will Love You forever.
My uncle Terry, I’m broken hearted that you are no longer here with us but I know you are dancing in Heaven with Nanny and having the best time. Thank you for everything and I’ll be loving you forever.
Thanks for the many life lessons unk…from how to power break a straight drive to hitting my knees an praying to god you was one of the best at doing either one..I don’t know of a single time I asked you a question that you didn’t give me some kind of answer.. I’ll NEVER forget our last conversation. it’s help me get through a lot of troubles in my life. I’ll see you the other side I love you 👊
Sending loving thoughts and prayers to the whole Pruitt family. Terry was a good man and will be greatly missed by everyone!
I did not know Terry for long, but it was obvious from the first that his love for his family was paramount. He welcomed my son as a husband, and Lillian Marie as a granddaughter to his beloved daughter, Maranda. At their wedding, he sincerely told me “Now we are family.” He was perhaps even More nervous than I was at the birth of sweet Norah Grace! Terry practiced his religion in many ways, always showing kindness and empathy towards his fellow man. I will miss him, but am thankful in the knowledge that he is at peace.
Nancy
Family, You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
