Dak Prescott's family
Rayne Dakota Prescott was the last born to Peggy and Nathaniel, on 29 July 1993. Jace, Tad, Natalie and Rayne were raised in Haughton, Louisiana, by their mother, a huge American Football fan. They also have a half-brother (from his father's side) named Elliot. Peggy passed on her enthusiasm for the sport to Rayne and his siblings.
Peggy sadly died in November 2013 after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. Her youngest son subsequently founded the 'Faith Fight Finish Foundation,' which assists underprivileged people with cancer.
