Russell Stanton Barthon Pratt Age 62 Years of Joe Farrington Road East, 
Completed his final building, at the Princess Margaret Hospital on Sunday, June 08, 2025.

He was born at Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas on Tuesday, October 31, 1962.

Russell was nurtured in the wonderful Fox Hill Community. He was christened and 
baptized at Mt. Carey Union Baptist Church.

Russell received his early education at the Sandilands All Aged School from 1969 to 1974, 
then went on to L. W. Young High School from 1974 to 1980.

He had a great love for sports, he was one of the fastest at the time. He also loved music, 
boating, fishing traveling and gardening (Mr. Green Thumb).

As a child Russell would sit and watch his uncle John build cabinets, this is where he got 
the inspiration to become a License Contractor. This career he led him to explore many 
companies in New Providence and also travel to a few islands.

Russell, displayed his dynamic building and roofing skills, with Cavalier, Jones and 
Brokell Construction Companies, Arawak Homes and Bird Cay the Berry Islands to mention a few.

He was also an entrepreneur of his own company "Roofing Masters Construction and Renovations."

Russell met and fell in love with Rosemary Glinton, the gem of his eyes. They've been loving each 
other for 43 years, this union was blessed with four children Joseph, Lisle, Simone and Russlyn.

"The Ayatollah" as he was affectionately called, love to sit under the tree and talk about life and God! 
He also loved spending time with family and grand-kids, as they would affectionately call him "Papa."

Russell was a man with a very giving and loving heart. Anyone that was blessed to meet him, never 
left his presence empty handed. Russell was a man of great character; he always chose to see 
the God and the good in people. He was unquestionably a beautiful soul. "The Opal of A Gem."

On Saturday, June 07, 2025 Russell exerted the love he had for God by saying, "Absent from the body 
present with the Lord", he continued his day in peace and grace.

On Sunday morning June 08, 2025 Russell sat under the Sour Sop Tree, at peace, gracing us with 
his presence one more time. Later that afternoon, Russell quietly departed this world at peace. 
"He will remain in our hearts, God needed him now."
