  enforcement profession who, by their selfless devotion to the
  public welfare, have enabled us to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful

  County Sheriff's Office earned the respect and admiration of his
  peers for his commitment to serving the greater good, and his

  2013, at the age of 61, Deputy Sheriff Freeman will long be missed
  by his family, his fellow peace officers, and the entire community;
  and
         WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Deputy Sheriff
  Freeman left behind a notable legacy that will forever be honored by
  those who follow in this difficult but essential profession; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
