H.R. No. 2021

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Citizens from across the Lone Star State are
gathering at the State Capitol on May 4, 2015, for the Peace
Officers' Memorial Ceremony, held in honor of those brave men and
women who have lost their lives in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to members of the law
enforcement profession who, by their selfless devotion to the
public welfare, have enabled us to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful
and orderly society; and
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized and sometimes taken for
granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these intrepid
individuals daily risk their lives in order to preserve domestic
tranquility and to protect their fellow residents; and
WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Jacob Rene Rayos of the Reeves County
Sheriff's Department earned the respect and admiration of his peers
for his commitment to serving the greater good, and his
contributions will not soon be forgotten; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his tenure, which spanned nine years and
two months, Deputy Sheriff Rayos demonstrated the loyalty, courage,
and self-sacrifice that are consistent with the highest ideals of
the law enforcement profession; and
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on Sunday, April 11, 2010,
at the age of 32, Deputy Sheriff Rayos 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
Rayos 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
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Deputy Sheriff Jacob
Rene Rayos of the Reeves County Sheriff's Department and extend
deepest sympathy to his relatives, friends, and fellow officers;
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 Deputy
Sheriff Jacob Rene Rayos.
