Funeral arrangements for Kenneth Prorok, the Moody County Chief Deputy Sheriff who tragically passed away while on duty, have been updated.
The service will now be held at Dakota State Fieldhouse in Madison on Thursday, Feb. 8, starting at 1 p.m. Attendees are requested to wear casual attire.
Prorok will be laid to rest at Prairie Queen Cemetery in Nunda following the ceremony.
An online livestream of the service will be available on YouTube via Dakota Prairie Playhouse.
With an expected attendance of “up to a couple thousand people,” the venue was moved to accommodate the larger crowd.
Barry Hillestad of South Dakota Memorial Assistance Response Team anticipates a significant turnout from the law enforcement community and former athletes coached by Prorok.
Donations to support Prorok’s son JD’s college education can be made to the JD Prorok Trust at any branch of First Bank & Trust.
