| In Memory | ||
| of | ||
| Samuel Mixon | ||
| WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Samuel Felix Mixon of | ||
| Galveston on September 16, 2022, at the age of 14, has brought a | ||
| tremendous loss to his family and many friends; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Houston on November 28, 2007, to devoted | ||
| parents Kathryn and Scott Mixon, Sam Mixon was likewise adored by | ||
| his older siblings, Kaitlyn and Sully; he embraced his adopted | ||
| hometown of Galveston, where he had graduated from Trinity | ||
| Episcopal School and recently begun his freshman year at Ball | ||
| High School; he was a warm and friendly young man with a | ||
| contagious smile and a wonderful sense of humor, and he endeared | ||
| himself to a wide circle of friends, some of whom he had known | ||
| since birth; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A natural athlete, Sam excelled at baseball, | ||
| basketball, soccer, skateboarding, and skimboarding, but he was | ||
| most passionate about fishing; he had fond memories of going to | ||
| Camp Longhorn during the summer and took great pleasure in | ||
| boating with his friends; moreover, he had a keen ability to | ||
| bring others together, and he was admired by everyone around him | ||
| for his big heart and his kind and gentle nature; his faith was | ||
| also an important part of his life, and he was baptized in the | ||
| open waters of Galveston, a place that had always held such | ||
| meaning for him; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, Sam Mixon | ||
| leaves behind countless people whose lives are far richer for | ||
| having known him, and they will forever cherish their memories of | ||
| this beloved young man; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Samuel Felix Mixon | ||
| and extend heartfelt condolences to the members of his family: to | ||
| his parents, Kathryn and Scott Mixon; to his siblings, Kaitlyn | ||
| and Sully Mixon; to his grandparents, Cindy and John Lee | ||
| Sullivan; to his aunts and uncles, Elizabeth Hanlon and her | ||
| husband, Chris, Rocky Sullivan and his wife, Kelsi, and Michelle | ||
| Leslie and her husband, George; to his cousins, Sarah and Abbey | ||
| Hanlon, James and John Sullivan, Marcell Drago Leslie, Marcella | ||
| Tudeen and her husband, Mike, Kelley and George Georgiades, | ||
| Kristen and John Berger, Todd and Sarah Sullivan, Johnny and | ||
| Sydney Sullivan, and Billy and Jocelyn Sullivan; to his | ||
| step-grandmother, Karen Mixon; to his great-uncle, Gerald | ||
| Sullivan, and his wife, Susanne; and to his numerous other | ||
| relatives and friends; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
| this day, it do so in memory of Sam Mixon. | ||
