|
||
WHEREAS, A life lived with joy and purpose came to an untimely | ||
end with the passing of Christopher Michael Murzin of Dallas on | ||
February 11, 2021, at the age of 53; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born on August 3, 1967, to Rita and Bob Murzin, Chris | ||
Murzin grew up with the companionship of three brothers, Bobby, | ||
Mike, and Nick; at an early age, he moved with his family from the | ||
Detroit area to Tyler, Texas, and he graduated from Arlington High | ||
School in 1985; he subsequently enrolled at Texas A&M University, | ||
where he joined Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity and earned his | ||
bachelor's degree in marketing; he made many friends along the way | ||
and became a lifelong Aggie fan; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Murzin went on to complete an MBA degree at the | ||
University of St. Thomas in Houston; his natural affinity for sales | ||
and his desire to help others led to him working in sales for the | ||
medical device industry; he was highly respected in his field, and | ||
over the course of a career with several companies, he built a | ||
strong professional reputation and won a multitude of sales awards; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, A devoted family man, Mr. Murzin shared nearly three | ||
decades with the love of his life, Christina Murzin, whom he married | ||
on April 24, 1993, and he took great joy in being a father to his | ||
children, Jack, Caroline, and Dutch; and | ||
WHEREAS, Because of the challenges faced by his son Jack, | ||
Mr. Murzin became involved in promoting accessibility and | ||
inclusion for children with disabilities, and he was instrumental | ||
in organizing the fundraising campaign to renovate Coffee Park to | ||
make it easier to navigate for those with mobility needs; in | ||
recognition of his leadership in that effort as well as in other | ||
initiatives to improve the accessibility of curbs and sidewalks | ||
throughout the city, he was named University Park Citizen of the | ||
Year in 2008 and received the Child Impact Award in 2010; and | ||
WHEREAS, Chris Murzin was a warm and compassionate man who | ||
worked to make his community a better place for all its residents, | ||
and those who were privileged to know him will forever treasure | ||
their memories of his kindness, his keen sense of humor, and his | ||
joyous zest for life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Christopher Michael | ||
Murzin and extend deepest condolences to the members of his family | ||
and to his many friends; 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 Chris | ||
Murzin. |
