From left, Bo Fanning, Doane LB and Wauneta native Colby Skelton, Bethany Reiner, Abbie Fanning and Craig Fanning admire the black granite memorial marking the Cody Fanning Memorial Plaza.

While named for Fanning, families of past Doane letter winning athletes may have their loved one’s name etched into the stone. The memorial sits next to Simon Field on the Doane Campus and was dedicated after the Sept. 8 game against Dakota State.

Jo Fanning said she was touched to see how many families and former players attended the event.
