	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 53


	In Memory
	of
	Robert Van Cleave

	WHEREAS, Family and friends will long cherish their
	memories of Robert E. Van Cleave of Tyler, who passed away on
	August 21, 2023, at the age of 93; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Robert and Louise Van Cleave, Bob Van
	Cleave was born in Southeast Texas on May 7, 1930, and he grew
	up in Mission with the companionship of two brothers, Horace
	and James; his deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors
	prompted him to enroll at Utah State Agricultural College;
	after earning his degree and serving in the military during
	the Korean War, he embarked on a rewarding career with the
	Texas Game and Fish Commission, which later became the Texas
	Parks and Wildlife Department; he eventually retired from
	TPWD in 1993; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Van Cleave shared a fulfilling marriage with his
	wife, Loretta, that spanned more than five decades before her
	passing in 2010; he was the devoted father of four children, Tamra,
	Robert, Luke, and Karen, and with the passing years, he had the
	privilege of watching his family grow to include nine grandchildren,
	Amy, Matthew, Braxton, Bailey, Cameron, Timothy, Christian,
	Caroline, and Caleb, and five great-grandchildren, Isabella,
	Alexander, Sophia, Olivia, and Zoe; a man of strong faith, he and
	Mrs. Van Cleave were founding members of Grace Community Church in
	Tyler; in his leisure time, he enjoyed attending home Bible studies
	and spending time with friends and family; and
	WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, Bob Van
	Cleave leaves behind numerous friends and loved ones whose
	lives are far richer for having known him, and he will always
	hold a treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
	Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
	of Robert E. Van Cleave and extend sincere condolences to all who
	mourn his passing; 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 Bob Van Cleave.

	Hughes
