Online condolences may be shared at www.greenfieldfuneralchapel.com.

Survivors include his wife, Cindy; their daughter, Josie Howard and Dustin with grandson Tyler, Greenfield; his stepson, Brandon Parks and wife Rae with grandsons Tristin, Braedon and Gunner, Lamar; his ever faithful companion, Yo dog; a collection of unique and valued friendships, along with a very special work family from Ample Industries, Inc.

Mr. Pringle was born Feb. 28, 1959, in Moss Point, Miss., to Lloyd and Elizabeth (Pongetti) Pringle. He spent his childhood and early adult years in Shelby and Columbus, Miss., with his six surviving siblings, Katie, Missy, Jill, Julie, Johnny and Tommy. He moved to Greenfield in 1982 to live on the farm with his dad.

He married Cindy Stidham on Nov. 19, 1988, and they spent their life together in Greenfield. He was a “give you the shirt off his back” kind of guy and often referred to himself as “old school”, which meant he opened the door for strangers, gave up his seat for the elderly, said please and thank you and respected God and America. He loved to make people laugh and had been heard doing a few impressions on occasion.

He enjoyed horseback riding, woodworking, fishing and hunting and time spent with his grandsons, but was well known for his passion for cutting wood.
