H.R. No. 1096 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women | ||
of the law enforcement profession, for by their selfless devotion | ||
to the public welfare, they enable us to enjoy the benefits of a | ||
peaceful and orderly society; and | ||
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized, and sometimes taken for | ||
granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these gallant | ||
individuals daily risk their lives in order to ensure domestic | ||
tranquility and to protect the lives and property of others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Officer David S. Hofer of the Euless Police | ||
Department exemplified in his personal and professional conduct the | ||
singular virtues of courage, integrity, and steadfast resolve, and | ||
throughout his two years on the force, his meritorious service | ||
embodied the highest ideals of his vocation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on March 1, 2016, Officer | ||
Hofer will long be missed by his family, his fellow peace officers, | ||
and the entire community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Officer Hofer | ||
left behind a record of public service that is deserving of his | ||
fellow citizens' lasting respect and gratitude; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Officer David S. Hofer | ||
and extend deepest sympathy to his relatives, friends, and fellow | ||
officers; 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 Officer | ||
David S. Hofer. | ||
