|
||
| WHEREAS, A life lived with joy and purpose came to an untimely | ||
| end with the passing of Christopher Michael Murzin of Dallas on | ||
| February 11, 2021, at the age of 53; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born on August 3, 1967, to Rita and Bob Murzin, Chris | ||
| Murzin grew up with the companionship of three brothers, Bobby, | ||
| Mike, and Nick; at an early age, he moved with his family from the | ||
| Detroit area to Tyler, Texas, and he graduated from Arlington High | ||
| School in 1985; he subsequently enrolled at Texas A&M University, | ||
| where he joined Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity and earned his | ||
| bachelor's degree in marketing; he made many friends along the way | ||
| and became a lifelong Aggie fan; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Murzin went on to complete an MBA degree at the | ||
| University of St. Thomas in Houston; his natural affinity for sales | ||
| and his desire to help others led to him working in sales for the | ||
| medical device industry; he was highly respected in his field, and | ||
| over the course of a career with several companies, he built a | ||
| strong professional reputation and won a multitude of sales awards; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, A devoted family man, Mr. Murzin shared nearly three | ||
| decades with the love of his life, Christina Murzin, whom he married | ||
| on April 24, 1993, and he took great joy in being a father to his | ||
| children, Jack, Caroline, and Dutch; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Because of the challenges faced by his son Jack, | ||
| Mr. Murzin became involved in promoting accessibility and | ||
| inclusion for children with disabilities, and he was instrumental | ||
| in organizing the fundraising campaign to renovate Coffee Park to | ||
| make it easier to navigate for those with mobility needs; in | ||
| recognition of his leadership in that effort as well as in other | ||
| initiatives to improve the accessibility of curbs and sidewalks | ||
| throughout the city, he was named University Park Citizen of the | ||
| Year in 2008 and received the Child Impact Award in 2010; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Chris Murzin was a warm and compassionate man who | ||
| worked to make his community a better place for all its residents, | ||
| and those who were privileged to know him will forever treasure | ||
| their memories of his kindness, his keen sense of humor, and his | ||
| joyous zest for life; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Christopher Michael | ||
| Murzin and extend deepest condolences to the members of his family | ||
| and to his 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 Chris | ||
| Murzin. | ||
