I remember Prana for being so nice to everyone, and we got along well in elementary and middle school with mutual interests in video gaming and skateboarding.

After 32yrs of Teaching 8th Grade American History I still remember Prana fondly for his lively, happy, & insightful class participation from over 25yrs ago. He always greeted me & my kids enthusiastically when we'd cross paths out in public. We send his mother, family, & friends our sincere condolences. This world has lost another bright & interesting person.
