Philip Eugene Pratt, 64, of Annapolis, MD departed his earthly home to go to his eternal home on Wednesday, September 19, 2018. He was born February 3, 1954 to the late Frank and Georgia Pratt.
Affectionately known as "Gene" and "Pop Pop" by family and friends. Gene received his education from Anne Arundel County Public Schools. He was employed by AACPS and drove for Mayflower Moving and Storage as well as Johnson Family Refuse and Trash Removal Company.
Gene was a loving and supporting father and a doting grandfather. He enjoyed having his granchildren around and just sitting on the front porch. He enjoyed his TV shows like Westerns and Army shows, as well as the ID channel and football. His favorite team was the New England Patriots. Most of all, family was very important to him.

Also preceding him in death was his devoted companion of 39 years, Laverne Parker whom he called his "Baby." Left to cherish his memory are his 6 children: Frank Pratt II, LaKeesha Reed (Joseph) all of Glen Burnie, MD, Brannon Williams of Baltimore, Ronnie Pratt, Carl Smith and Artrell Pratt all of Annapolis, MD; five sisters: Pauline Tasker of Bowie, MD, Pamela Brown and Ruthie Pratt both of Shadyside, MD, Francine Pratt, Churchton, MD, and Shirley Pratt of Annapolis, MD; three aunts, Alverta Johnson of Baltimore, MD, Catherine Galloway of Arnold, MD, and Frances Evans, of Lothian, MD; ten grandchildren, Tijee Reed, Tanasia Reed, Frank Pratt, Neveah Pratt, Tarique Pratt, Kani Smith, Micah Smith, Derondey Smith, Ronnetta Smith, and Raheem Branford, and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
