The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Ernest W. Nash, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, It is with great sorrow that the members of this legislative body learned about the passing of Ernest Nash. He will be remembered as a steadfast public servant who was deeply committed to his constituents of Eaton, Clinton, and Ionia counties in the Fifty-sixth District; and
Whereas, Ernest Nash was born in Bay City, later moving to Dimondale, and graduated from Michigan State University. Dedicated to his country and public safety, Ernest Nash served in the United States Navy for four years and was an officer with the Michigan State Police. In 1974, Ernest Nash was elected to serve his first term as a member of the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Ernest Nash served 12 years as a representative. A trusted public safety expert, he served on the committees on Public Safety and Judiciary as vice chair. He was also a member of the committees on Corrections; State Affairs; Drainage; Social Services and Corrections; Consumers; Oversight; and Joint Administrative Rules, as well as the Legislative Council, as he contributed to wide array of legislative matters; and
Whereas, Ernest Nash was passionate about contributing to his community. He was a member of the Eaton County Shrine Club, the Lions Club, the Michigan State Police Command Officers Association, and the First Presbyterian Church of Dimondale, among other endeavors; and
Whereas, Ernest Nash’s legacy is a model of what we as public servants strive to be. Committed to the betterment of the state of Michigan, he served dutifully in the Legislature and the community; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Ernest W. Nash, a member of the House of Representatives from 1975 to 1986; and be it further
Resolved, that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Nash family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
