Prendergast was born to a wealthy family but suffered an early tragedy with the death of his twin sister at just six. Following this eventful experience he took up drawing and attended free evening classes.

After his studies, he traveled to Europe and gained many new ideas and techniques related to painting. He became one of the key figures who introduced these concepts to American audiences.

Dan was an eccentric character cherished by all his extended family, especially his loving wife Victoria and daughter Alannah; son Daniel; grandchildren Kelly Stanton, Carol LaPaglia and Craig Michael LaPaglia as well as great-grandchildren Madelynn, Charlotte and Alison – we will miss him dearly “Chief”. Rest in peace Chief! We all love you.
