Kevin Pratt
(November 11, 1949 – August 17, 2024)
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Kevin Pratt from cancer. He died at his Cabin at Pigeon Lake, the place he loved most. Kevin was a devoted father, husband, and friend whose life was filled with purpose, joy, and an unwavering commitment to his friends, family and community.
Born on November 11, 1949, in Camrose, Alberta, the second son to Edna and Jack Pratt, Kevin was a man who lived life with a plan, always thinking ahead and ensuring that those around him also followed a plan, preferably his plan. His greatest love was for his children, Josh and Kourtney, he poured his heart into raising them, always striving to provide them with a life full of love, security, and opportunity.
Kevin was a successful businessman, commencing with owning and operating of Better Valu Grocery Store together with Pratt’s Seeds Store, Camrose Racquet and Fitness Club, and Grand Park Liquor Mart. His dedication to his work and his community left a lasting impact. He retired in 2014, having built a reputation for integrity and commitment.
Kevin was also deeply involved in community service. His passion for contributing to his community was evident through his work with the Kinsman Club of Camrose, being honoured with a lifetime membership, Camrose City Councillor from 2003-2010, Councillor for the Summer Village of Crystal Springs 2010-2017, Director of the Camrose Kodiaks for 25 years, and a Governor of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, where he helped foster local pride and engagement. His contributions went beyond his businesses, leaving a mark on the community he cared so much about.
Kevin loved to travel, whether near or far, he embraced the journey with an open mind and a frugal spirit. His love for food and drink was well-known, and he never missed an opportunity to share a good meal and libation with those he loved.
Though Kevin did not take fashion cues from anyone, had a tendency to hoard, and remained a proud owner of a flip phone until his death, these traits were part of what made him uniquely himself. His boundless generosity of spirit enriched the lives of everyone around him. He gave freely of his time, his opinions (whether you wanted them or not), and his laughter, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Kevin Pratt is survived by his wife, Jacquie Schaffter; his children, Josh and Kourtney; his brother, Barrie (Bonnie); and his mother-in-law Gretta Schaffter. While we grieve his passing, we also celebrate the full and vibrant life he lived.
