By: Bumgarner | H.R. No. 156 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt by | ||
the family and friends of Wade Cannon of the Flower Mound Fire | ||
Department, who passed away on October 1, 2022, at the age of 33, | ||
after a courageous battle with cancer; and | ||
WHEREAS, Wade Cannon served his community as a firefighter | ||
paramedic and had been with the department for six years; he enjoyed | ||
a strong bond of camaraderie with his colleagues and was recognized | ||
as an energetic and spirited young man with a bright future ahead of | ||
him; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2020, Mr. Cannon received the devastating news | ||
that he had stage four colon cancer; refusing to give up hope, he | ||
endured multiple clinical trials and many rounds of chemotherapy, | ||
and he urged other firefighters in the department to get screened | ||
for cancer, knowing that early detection could give them a better | ||
chance of survival; his encouragement led two of his colleagues to | ||
be screened for and diagnosed with colon cancer, allowing them to | ||
begin potentially lifesaving treatment sooner; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Cannon enjoyed the support | ||
of a loving family, including his wife, Chelsea Cannon, whom he | ||
treasured having by his side through every challenge; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although the passing of Wade Cannon is a tremendous | ||
loss to his community, he leaves behind a record of public service | ||
that will forever remain a source of pride to his loved ones; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Wade Cannon and extend | ||
heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues; 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 Wade | ||
Cannon. |
