Reflections - Dan

 

Spring on West Creek Road where Dan jogged.

Daniel K. Prather

February 6, 1960 - February 17, 2019

Dan was a gentle soul—kind to his mother, adept with dogs, and competent as a library assistant volunteer. My favorite image of Dan is him pounding his chest while he jogged back and forth on the level stretch of West Creek Road in front of our house.

Since his sisters said Dan didn’t have a favorite plant, we planted a Snowbelle Mock orange bush bush on the edge of the stone culvert near the garage for him. Its modest, pleasing flowers honor his memory.
