The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name a section of County Route 3/2, also known as Moses Fork Road, in Mingo County as the "Donald Tackett Jr. Memorial Road." This section extends from its intersection at Old County Road to its intersection at East Fork of Twelvepole Road. The resolution honors Donald Tackett Jr., a native of Dingess, West Virginia, who tragically lost his life in a plane crash at the age of 23 while returning from a football game with the Marshall University team.
The resolution highlights Tackett's background, including his education, athletic involvement, and contributions to the Marshall University athletic department. It emphasizes the significance of memorializing his life and legacy through the naming of the road, as a way to recognize the impact of his untimely death on his family and community. Additionally, the resolution calls for the installation of signs to identify the road by its new name and directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to forward a certified copy of the resolution to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.
