Best DKE Obit EVER

[IHeartUGA]

Sorry to crash, fellas, but I wanted to share the best obituary I have ever read. In it, he mentions that he was a DKE at Bama: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sav...jEp4os.twitter

Tracy J. Priest Jr. - SAVANNAH - Tracy J. Priest Jr., 64, died Saturday, November 19, 2011 in Mobile AL, where he was working as an insurance adjustor. No obit will do proper homage. He had many large lives and developed a wide circle of friends - in CA where he was raised and played guitar in early roots music groups, and in Tuscaloosa, Nashville, Birmingham, Mobile and Savannah. He was equal parts puckish and perspicacious. Despite finishing undergraduate school at the University of Alabama in only eleven years, he still managed to earn a 2-point something GPA, all while holding down a rewarding social life and pursuing various entrepreneurial endeavors. While his politics were unexpectedly conservative and his affiliation with Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity quite successfully cemented, he became a leading student activist during the troubles of the 60's. Tracy was a life-long entrepreneur. He founded Southern Woodcraft and Storyville restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Bon Temps clothing line, and World Winds retail stores. He also dabbled in breeding and trading Tennessee walking horses, which, he learned the hard way, was not a suitable calling. As a businessman he put people first and never compromised his integrity. He combined hard work and Rabelaisian excess, and believed any good idea could be made better, more fun and more inclusive. A raconteur, political scientist and a student of obscure and piquant vocabulary, he loved good food, drink, music, theater, salt, bourbon and smokes. He was of barrel chest, and capable throughout his life of peeing a quart, but his best health was always of his spirit. His family history is checkered, unless one counts his large family of friends and admirers. A memorial will be held at the Tybee Arts Center, December 4, from 5 -7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please treat yourself to a bottle of Dickel and meditate on the promise and evanescence of life. RIP Trace, and thank you. Savannah Morning News November 22, 2011 Please sign our Obituary Guest Book at savannnahnow.com/obituaries.

I want to be remembered for my "obscure and piquant vocabulary." :-)
