| WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas | ||
| have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and | ||

| Judy, and their 5 children, 12 grandchildren, and 14 | ||
| great-grandchildren; during his leisure time, he enjoyed riding his | ||
| motorcycle as a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association | ||
| and watching and collecting old movies; over the course of his more | ||
| than seven years with TDCJ, his steadfast care helped countless | ||
| individuals find hope and solace; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Jerry Bedison faithfully and ably performed his | ||
| duties throughout his tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, and he will long be remembered with great admiration by all | ||

| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
