	and then in security services at Kelly Air Force Base before his
	discharge in 1959; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Hicks was subsequently employed with
	McCullough Tool Company in Odessa until 1961, when he embarked on
	a long and rewarding career with the Cosden Refinery in Big
	Spring; over the course of his 27-year tenure, he helped operate
	the fluid catalytic cracking unit and served as a pump mechanic;
	following his retirement in 1988, he returned to Mills County and
	raised cattle on his ranch on the Colorado River; he was also
	active in his community as a member of the Mills County American

	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Hicks benefited from
	the love and support of his wife, LaQuita, with whom he shared a
	fulfilling marriage that spanned nearly seven decades; he took
	great pride in their children, Denise, Patricia, and Charla, and
	with the passing years, he had the pleasure of welcoming into his
	family 10 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Deeply dedicated to his family, his faith, and his
	country, Charles Hicks earned the lasting respect and admiration
	of all who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
