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, Fort Supply remained the place he considered home. He eventually returned there, where he turned his passion for leatherwork and airbrushing into a career as a self-employed artist.

Aron had a gift for creating with his hands. He spent countless hours making leather goods, turning simple materials into works of art. Wallets, purses, belts, saddlebags, and custom projects were more than hobbies—they were an expression of who he was.

In his spare time, Aron loved fishing, spending time outdoors, and enjoying the company of his loyal companion, Mackadoodle, who rarely left his side. He was adventurous, willing to try just about anything, and known for helping others whenever he could.

Aron also loved music and sound. He was known for building impressive speaker systems and sharing his love of music with anyone around him. He lived life on his own terms and left lasting impressions on the people he met.

Above all else, Aron loved his sons. They were always in his heart, and he was proud of them. His love for his family was one thing he never hid.

Aron is survived by his sons, Aron L. Pritchard, Nathan Pritchard, Messiah, and Joseph; his grandchildren, Magnus and Runa Ray; his mother, Katherine (John) Cox; his father, Claudie Pritchard; his siblings, Claudie Pritchard, Brandy Janette, and Debbie Cook; friend, Donna Reid; and his fur buddy, Mackadoodle.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents; his Uncle Les, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Michael and his cousin Mattt.

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

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Aron Pritchard Memorial Fund, in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501. To benefit the memorial fund, please make checks payable to Elliott Mortuary.
