A. The Purpose of the Scholarship
The Jeston R. Pray Memorial Sports Scholarship Fund has been established in memory of Jeston by his family, friends, and many supporters within the community. In his short life of 23 years, Jes touched the hearts of so many people in our Elko and Frisco, TX communities. He will be remembered by that “great white smile”, the love of his nephew, and his humble….kind personality that touched so many people. He was born a football player but enjoyed baseball, basketball, golf, a good game of chess, and sports of all kinds. He was known for his exceptional athleticism, knowledge of the game, competitive spirit, and just a genuine true love for any game. A kid, a student, an athlete – he came into his own as #3 playing for the Elko Indians, an Elko HS graduate with a great work ethic, and that entrepreneurial spirit. He was always caring and concerned for those less fortunate and had a willingness to help others, which was ultimately demonstrated through his donation of life to five others.
