Pito’s world was his three beloved children, Charles Fletcher Pratt, Shreve Stewart Pratt, and Alexis Grace Pratt. He was a great conversationalist and counsel for all of his children. His comforting nature will be one of the his most missed traits. Always the loudest voice in the room, he was passionate about many things, especially his comic book collection.

Pito loved being an attorney, and several of his happiest times were had while working towards his many professional achievements. He worked diligently and painstakingly to build a practice that made his children proud of him.

In the past several years, he had enjoyed spending time in Cloudcroft, New Mexico and looked forward to having his children join him when time allowed. When in Houston he could be found keeping his favorite brother, Jody Pratt, company and entertaining the whole house.

Pito is survived by his children, mother, brother, mother of his children, Catherine Pratt, brother-in-law, Jeb Bashaw, his nephew, Travis Bashaw, and niece, Mason Clelland and her husband, Lane Clelland. He was preceded in death by his dad, Peter, grandparents Alice and Fletcher Pratt, grandparents John and Wandy Winterbotham, and his beloved brother Scott Pratt and sister Kim Bashaw. He also leaves behind his favorite pets, Spotz McKenzie and Sasha, both of whom brought a smile to his face.
