| WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas | ||

| faith and a beloved member of his community; he shared a rewarding | ||

| was blessed with two children, Macie and Hunter, as well as several | ||
| grandchildren; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Wier was hired as an agriculture specialist at | ||
| the Powledge Unit in Palestine in September 2020; he was known for | ||
| his strong work ethic and his friendly demeanor, and despite the | ||
| short period of time he was employed with the agency, he made a | ||
| lasting impression on his colleagues; and | ||
| WHEREAS, John Wier 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, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of | ||
| John Wier 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 John Wier. | ||
