Dr. Leo David Prevost, Jr.

Dr. Leo David Prevost, Jr., was born in New Orleans on April 9, 1954, but resided most
of his adult life in Fayetteville, NC. He was accepted into the arms of our Lord God on
January 30, 2025, at the age of 70 after succumbing to cancer. He was preceded in
death by parents, Leo Prevost, Sr. and Shirley Taylor Prevost; beloved wife, Priscilla
Oates Prevost; a brother, Alan Prevost; and two sisters, Elaine Prevost and Gail Prevost
Thomas. He leaves behind sister, Collette, and brothers, Brian (Cassandra), Dennis
(Sabrina), Keith, and Calvin (Brenda). He also leaves behind other extended family and
friends.

Dr. Prevost was a graduate of St. Augustine High School, obtained a Bachelor of
Science degree from Xavier University, and a Doctor of Medicine degree from Meharry
Medical College. He spent his early education years at St. Philip the Apostle School. He
served in the army for a number of years before being honorably discharged and then,
for many years, he worked as a civilian doctor at the Womack Army Medical Center
(formerly known as Fort Bragg). He was a physician with an excellent bedside manner.
He strongly believed in delivering quality care to his patients with sincere empathy and
concern.

Leo was a quiet, soft-spoken, spiritual man who believed deeply in God and Family. He
was a kind, considerate, and very generous person who often did for others before
himself. He expressed love and affection by doing for others while asking nothing in
return. As a youth, he was good at basketball and playing the saxophone. Leo, the
eldest child in the family, was a good role model, mentor, and protector. He lived a
rather simple lifestyle after his wife passed but enjoyed socializing with immediate and
extended family.

While Leo will be greatly missed, his family takes comfort in knowing he has reunited
with his beloved wife, honored parents, and three siblings. May God bless Dr. Prevost
and may his soul rest in eternal peace.

A private celebration of life will be held for immediate and extended family members in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 1, 2025.
