	WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the
	passing of Joseph Wallace Fields Jr. of Clint on April 13, 2014, at
	the age of 85; and
	WHEREAS, Born in El Paso on November 22, 1928, to Joseph and
	Fern Fields, "Jodie" Fields graduated from Clint High School in
	1946 and went on to answer his nation's call to duty as a member of
	the U.S. Army, serving in Alaska for two years during the Korean
	War; and
	WHEREAS, After returning to civilian life, Mr. Fields
	married the former Sue Botsford, with whom he shared a rewarding
	union of nearly six decades; the couple became the proud parents of
	two children, Mike and Linda, and with the passing years, they were
	further blessed with five treasured grandchildren, Alexis,
	Kaitlyn, Lauren, Zach, and William; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Fields enjoyed a fulfilling career as a farmer
	that spanned more than a half-century, and he further distinguished
	himself through his community involvement, serving as a member of
	the board of directors of the First National Bank in Fabens and as a
	valued congregant and trustee of Bond Memorial United Methodist
	Church; and
	WHEREAS, Although Jodie Fields will be deeply missed,
	cherished memories of time spent in his company will long endure in
	the hearts of his family and friends; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Jodie Fields and
	extend sincere condolences to the members of his family: to his
	wife, Sue Fields; to his children, Mike Fields and his wife, Holly,
	and Linda Makrides and her husband, Nick; to his grandchildren,
	Alexis, Kaitlyn, and Lauren Makrides and Zach and William Fields;
	to his sister-in-law, Sally Botsford; and to his other relatives
	and many friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Joseph
	Wallace Fields Jr.
