The walking horse community lost a dear friend this morning (Dec. 9, 2013) with the death of Dude Prestwood at 3:45 a.m. at his home in Jackson, Miss. Prestwood, age 74, had been under Hospice care and succumbed after a lengthy and very courageous battle with cancer.

He rode Carbon Copy’s Star to the 1969 Three-Year-Old World Championship. He was a friend and mentor to many trainers, owners and exhibitors over the years and will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Jean; their two daughters and four grandchildren.
Visitation with the family will be from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013, at Chancellor Funeral Home in Byram, Miss. Funeral services will be conducted on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. at Lakeshore Church in Byram with burial to follow at Lakewood Cemetery in Jackson.
