""""""""""""""""""""""""
Tuesday was a day of grief at the Flores family home in Derby. But Jose Flores’ face lit up as he talked about a favorite memory of his son, Daniel.
Not surprisingly, it had everything to do with K-State sports.
Jose Flores, 52, recalled a phone call from Daniel Flores, then a student at Kansas State University. An excited Daniel Flores told his father: “Dad, guess what I’m getting ready to do?” Daniel Flores was informing his father that he was about to storm the basketball court with a throng of other students. It was Jan. 30, 2008. K-State beat No. 2 University of Kansas, 84-75.
What he really wanted to do in his career was be a radio sports announcer. He got to do it at K-State, where he graduated with a major in sociology and a minor in mass communications. He worked for the student radio station. He got to experience the Cotton Bowl with other sports journalists.
His parents thought it was fitting that Daniel, the oldest of three children, wore K-State purple on his Facebook page.
