H.R. No. 33

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 Rodrick L. Rodgers, a dedicated and highly
respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who
passed away on November 11, 2020, at the age of 45; and
WHEREAS, Officer Rodgers was a 10-year TDCJ veteran and
served as the food services manager at the Eastham Unit in Lovelady;
his love of cooking was demonstrated both on and off the job; he
especially delighted in barbecuing, and he prepared meals for a
range of special events, including community outings and
fundraisers and his popular Super Bowl parties; everything he did
was informed by his deep religious faith, and he considered his
wife, his children, and his stepchildren to be his greatest
blessings; in the workplace, he was widely respected by his
coworkers, who appreciated his humility and kindness, as well as
the deep interest he took in the well-being of everyone around him;
and
WHEREAS, Rodrick Rodgers 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
Rodrick L. Rodgers 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 Rodrick L.
Rodgers.
