H.R. No. 1120

R E S O L U T I O N
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, Detective Benjamin E. Marconi of the San Antonio
Police Department exemplified in his personal and professional
conduct the singular virtues of courage, integrity, and steadfast
resolve, and throughout his 20 years, 10 months on the force, his
meritorious service embodied the highest ideals of his vocation;
and
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on November 20, 2016,
Detective Marconi will long be missed by his family, his fellow
peace officers, and the entire community; and
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Detective
Marconi 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 Detective Benjamin
E. Marconi 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 Detective
Benjamin E. Marconi.
