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

| well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, who passed away on November 4, 2020, at the age of 56; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born on February 28, 1964, in Belleville, Illinois, | ||
| Frank Rose graduated from Hardin-Simmons University and received | ||
| his teaching certificate from the University of Mary Washington; he | ||
| was employed for 27 years at the Windham School District, and he was | ||
| deeply respected for his work as a correctional educator for the | ||

| Robertson Unit in Abilene, where he was teaching at the time of his | ||
| passing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Rose was cherished by a family that included his | ||
| daughter, Sheridan, and his grandson, Ayden; he was also well-loved | ||
| by his coworkers, students, and graduates, all of whom were | ||
| impacted by his gift for encouraging others to embrace positive | ||
| change in their lives; he was always overjoyed to hear about | ||

| to work toward a brighter future for themselves; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Frank Rose faithfully and ably performed his duties | ||
