As you can see, “Junior” Pryor died this past October. I thought I had posted his obit then, but I don’t see it. He died just a few days before the 1962 reunion at Doug and Janice’s Cabin. As a matter of fact, he had planned to attend. He had been fighting cancer a couple years, but suddenly took a turn about a week before their reunion.



Waldo “Junior” Moore Pryor, 81, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on October 10, 2025 after a two year battle with cancer. Hew was born on February 14, 1944 in Walnut Grove, MS to the late Waldo and Zola Mae Pryor of Forest, MS, but it would be Homewood, MS where he spent his youth growing up and a special place he called home.
He is preceded in death by his parents, sisters, Priscilla Ann Pryor and Jane Pryor Tadlock and brother, Paul Dewayne Pryor, Sr.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Charlene “Charlie” Kilpatrick Pryor, his sons, Craig (Carol) Pryor of Seguin, TX, Kevin (Sarah) Pryor of Floresville, TX, and grandson Cole Pryor of Jourdanton, TX. He is also survived by his sisters, Pam (Warren) Wallace of Homewood, MS, Janet (Hiram) Richardson of Morton, MS, Shelia (Ken) Sims of Brandon, MS, and brother, Eddie (Michelle) Pryor of Pass Christian, MS, brother-in-law Bob Tadlock of Pulaski, MS, and sister-in-laws Linda Pryor of Lena, MS, and Cheryl (Harry) Ferguson of Florence, MS. He is also survived by a host of cousins, nieces and nephews, all of which he loved dearly.
He graduated from Forest High School in 1962 and later attended East Central Junior College in Decatur, MS, where he played on the football team. It is here where he also met the love of his life, Charlie. Initially Junior and Charlie made their home in Forest, MS, before moving to Texas where they raised their family.
He loved the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing or just sitting around the campfire with his family and friends. He was a great storyteller, loved sports of all kinds, especially the Spurs and them Cowboys. He always put Christ first in all that he did. His heart was as big as Texas. He was loved by so many and will be greatly missed.
