|
||
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache felt | ||
by the family and friends of Alexandria Aniyah Rubio of Uvalde, who | ||
passed away on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and | ||
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio, who was affectionately known as | ||
"Lexi," was born in Hondo on October 20, 2011, to Kimberly | ||
Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; she shared a loving bond with her two | ||
sisters, Jahleela and Kalisa, and her three brothers, Julian, | ||
David, and Isaiah, and she drew on the support of a large extended | ||
family that included her grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, | ||
uncles, and cousins; and | ||
WHEREAS, An athletic and energetic fourth-grader, Alexandria | ||
inherited her father's passion for playing softball and basketball; | ||
they devoted many hours to their one-on-one practice sessions, and | ||
Lexi relished the experience of winning a championship with her | ||
youth basketball team last season; she also drew inspiration from | ||
her mother, who was pursuing a degree from St. Mary's University in | ||
San Antonio, and she hoped to one day enroll at the university | ||
herself to study mathematics then attend law school; and | ||
WHEREAS, Alexandria cherished the time she spent with her | ||
family and friends, and some of her favorite activities included | ||
baking cookies with her great-grandmother, exchanging jokes with | ||
her loved ones, and curling up on the couch with a book; though she | ||
possessed a sarcastic wit, she was also caring and generous, and she | ||
had a beautiful smile that naturally progressed into hearty | ||
laughter whenever she was around her siblings; and | ||
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio was a source of immense joy to | ||
everyone in her life, and although her loss is tremendously | ||
difficult to bear, her memory will forever be treasured by all who | ||
were blessed to know her; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Alexandria Aniyah | ||
Rubio and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: | ||
to her parents, Kimberly Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; to her | ||
siblings, Julian Rubio, Jahleela Rubio, David Falcon III, Kalisa | ||
Barboza, and Isaiah Rodriguez; to her aunt, Analyse Mata, and her | ||
uncle, Brandon Mendoza Sr.; to her cousins, Brandon Mendoza Jr., | ||
Derek Mendoza, and Mary-Claire Mendoza; to her grandparents, Cindy | ||
Castillo and her husband, Victor, Ruben F. Mata and his wife, | ||
Larisa, and Connie and Luis "Chacho" Rubio; to her | ||
great-grandparents, Mary and Ruben Mata, Margie and Julian Moreno, | ||
Oralia Orona and Trini Gutierrez, and Jesse and Maxine Martinez; to | ||
her numerous great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins; to her best | ||
friend, Sarah; and to the countless others in Uvalde and beyond who | ||
mourn her passing; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Alexandria | ||
Rubio. | ||
King of Uvalde | ||
