Aron Joe Pritchard, 46, of Fort Supply, OK, died May 30, 2026, in Hutchinson, KS. He was born November 9, 1979, in Hutchinson, KS, to Claudie Leon and Katherine Nadine “Brown” Pritchard.

Aron graduated from Buhler High School. Throughout his life, Aron always considered Fort Supply, Oklahoma, a special place where he felt completely at home. He eventually moved back to Oklahoma, where he turned his passion into a career with leatherwork and airbrushing as a self-employed artist.

In his spare time, Aron loved connecting with nature, and Fort Supply Lake in Fort Supply, OK is where he enjoyed doing so, whether he was fishing or just enjoying the calm and serenity of the outdoors with his fur buddy, Mackadoodle, who went everywhere with him. He was an adventurist who would try anything, and a caring and loving soul, always willing to help anybody in need.

Aron is survived by: his mother, Katherine (John) Cox; father, Claudie Pritchard Sr.; siblings, Claudie Pritchard Jr., Brandy Pritchard, and Debbie Cook; friend, Donna Reid; and fur baby, Mackadoodle.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.

Per Aron’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
