WHEREAS, Family and friends will long cherish their memories | ||
of Charles David Abbott of Idalou, who passed away on March 2, 2017; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Charles Abbott and Marjene Phelps, David | ||
Abbott was born in Plainview in 1954, and he grew up alongside his | ||
sister, Kathy, brother, Jimmy, and stepbrothers, Greg and J. R.; he | ||
graduated from Fort Stockton High School in 1972 and went on to earn | ||
a degree in Christian ministry at Southwestern Assemblies of God | ||
University before following his call to pastoral service; and | ||
WHEREAS, While working at a church in Lubbock, Mr. Abbott met | ||
the love of his life, the former Lynnette Marshall, and the couple | ||
married in 1978; he became the father of three treasured sons, | ||
Joshua, Chance, and the late Matthew Abbott, as well as a | ||
grandfather to a cherished granddaughter, Eisley Dawn; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, various ministry positions led | ||
Mr. Abbott and his family to live in cities across Texas and in | ||
Colorado until 1993, when they decided to put down roots in Idalou; | ||
there, Mr. Abbott embarked on a new career as a carpenter and | ||
established a reputation for skilled craftsmanship in custom | ||
cabinetry; in his spare time, he volunteered at the Lubbock Lions | ||
Club and enjoyed every available opportunity to hunt and fish; and | ||
WHEREAS, David Abbott was a devoted husband, a committed | ||
father, and a friend to everyone he met, and he will forever be a | ||
source of inspiration to all those who had the good fortune to know | ||
him; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of David Abbott and | ||
extend sincere condolences to all who mourn his loss; 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 adjourns this day, it do so in memory of David | ||
Abbott. |
