	CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the sorrow felt at the
	loss of Dawson County Deputy Jessie Ray Perez, who died in the line
	of duty on April 22, 2025, at the age of 42; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Florenzio and Gracie Perez, Jessie Perez
	was born in Richmond on January 24, 1983, and he grew up with the
	companionship of three siblings, Julian, Bobby, and Rosalinda; and
	WHEREAS, At the time of his death, Deputy Perez had served for
	eight months with the Dawson County Sheriff's Office; he brought a
	wealth of knowledge to that role, drawing on his expertise as a
	longtime member of the O'Donnell Volunteer Fire Department and his
	service with the Lynn County EMS team and other emergency medical
	services departments; he was also a member of the O'Donnell City
	Council; admired for his integrity, courage, and unwavering sense
	of duty, Deputy Perez earned the respect of his colleagues and
	fellow West Texas citizens alike, and his tragic death has inspired
	an outpouring of prayers, sympathy, and support from the community;
	and
	WHEREAS, Above all, Deputy Perez treasured time spent with
	his family; he was a devoted husband to his wife of 13 years, Linda
	Sue, and he took great pride in his four children, Mackenzie, Zoey,
	Shelby, and Fabian, and his grandson, Zephaniah; and
	WHEREAS, Beloved for his kindness, generosity, and keen sense
	of humor, Jessie Perez was a compassionate and caring first
	responder who embodied the highest ideals of his profession, and he
	leaves behind a legacy of service that will long be treasured by all
	those who held him dear; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby pay tribute to the life of Deputy Jessie Ray Perez and extend
	deepest condolences to the members of his family: to his wife, Linda
	Sue Perez; to his children, Mackenzie Perez, Zoey Vargas, Shelby
	Vargas and her husband, Branson, and Fabian Vargas; to his
	grandson, Zephaniah Vargas; to his mother, Gracie Perez; to his
	siblings, Julian Gutierrez and his wife, Miranda, Bobby Perez, and
	Rosalinda Johnson and her husband, Demond; and to his many 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 House of
	Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of
	Deputy Jessie Perez.
