Jeff Pruitt, age 56, Deputy Director of Roswell Parks and Recreation and resident of Alpharetta passed away July 16th 2020 due to an unexpected medical emergency. Jeff is survived by his wife of 32 years Carla Mathis Pruitt, daughter Ansley (Zach) Denn, daughter Addison Pruitt, mother Gail Pruitt, father Doyle (LaNelle) Pruitt, and brother Jason (Ashley) Pruitt. Jeff, born in Atlanta, was a graduate of Roswell High School and Kennesaw State University. His life’s work was with the Roswell Recreation and Parks Dept. Jeff started as a score keeper and referee at age 15 and advanced himself to lead a department to National Agency of the Year Gold Medal recognition. He touched and enriched many young people’s lives throughout his career. Jeff was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and loyal friend. He was a man like no other who was humble, kind and nurturing. Jeff was just a great guy that never met a stranger and was loved by everyone. He was a quiet leader who was able to get things done flawlessly behind the scenes. Jeff’s passions included traveling, fishing, and spending time with family and friends. A private memorial will be held for family at Northside Chapel. A public memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Carla Pruitt/Jeff Pruitt Memorial Fund at any United Community Bank location. Electronic deposits can also be made through Venmo to @Jeff-Pruitt-Memorial. Proceeds from donations will fund a one-time scholarship in Jeff’s memory to a Kennesaw State University student with financial needs.
