The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name a segment of County Route 3/2, also known as Moses Fork Road, in Mingo County, West Virginia, as the "Donald Tackett Jr. Memorial Road." This naming honors Donald Tackett Jr., who was born in Mingo County in 1947 and tragically lost his life in a plane crash in 1970 at the age of 23 while returning from a football game with the Marshall University team. Tackett was a dedicated student and athlete, having attended local schools and later Marshall University, where he was involved in the athletic department.
The resolution emphasizes the significance of this memorial naming as a tribute to Tackett's life and contributions, as well as the impact of his untimely death on his family and community. It also includes provisions for the installation of signs to identify the newly designated road and directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.
