and
WHEREAS, Known for his dedication to the city he was proud to
call home, Mr. Crane was first elected to the McAllen City

the performing arts, the Tres Lagos development, and audits and
investments; and
WHEREAS, Hailing from one of the city's most respected and
civically engaged families, Mr. Crane was a small business owner as

was a devoted family man who cherished his wife, Sasha, his
daughter, Taylor, and his son, Diego; and
WHEREAS, Scott Crane brought to his many endeavors a level of
enthusiasm and generosity of spirit that won him the affection and
esteem of countless fellow citizens, and his memory will forever be
treasured by all those who were privileged to know him; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas

Crane.
