Argie Pritchett

Argie William Pritchett passed away at his home in Pocatello, Idaho on March 8, 2013 at the age of 70.

Argie was born on March 13, 1942 to John Coleman and Ruby Pritchett in Fairview, Utah where he grew up. He graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1960.

During retirement, he greatly enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, travelling, fantasy basketball, the Utah Jazz, and his grandchildren.
