H.R. No. 32

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and
workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives
in the pandemic was Jimmy Garcia, a dedicated and well-respected
employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed
away on April 15, 2021, at the age of 56; and
WHEREAS, A proud veteran, Mr. Garcia served in the U.S.
Marine Corps for 15 years before joining TDCJ, and over the course
of his career with the agency, he was employed as a correctional
officer at the Neal and Clements Units; in his leisure hours, he
enjoyed fishing, working on cars, and doing carpentry projects;
moreover, he often gave freely of his time and expertise to help his
colleagues and loved ones; and
WHEREAS, Jimmy Garcia 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
who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
Jimmy Garcia and extend deepest sympathy to his family, friends,
and colleagues; 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 Jimmy
Garcia.
