H.R. No. 26

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The passing of Tommy Edmondson of Arlington on
January 7, 2012, at the age of 64, has brought great sorrow to his
loved ones and his many friends, former students, and admirers; and
WHEREAS, Coach Ed, or "Ched" as he was affectionately known,
encouraged and influenced countless young people throughout his
35-year career as a teacher, coach, and mentor with the Arlington
Independent School District, the last 15 of which he spent coaching
his favorite sport--girls softball--at Arlington High School; and
WHEREAS, He was devoted to his family and to his
student-athletes, and he will always be remembered for his
enthusiasm, his integrity, and his engaging smile; and
WHEREAS, Though it is impossible to gauge the full effect of a
man's life, some individuals leave their unmistakable mark on the
world as they move through it, and the contributions of Coach
Edmondson will long resonate in the lives of all who knew him; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Thomas Carson
Edmondson, Jr., and extend sincere condolences to the members of
his family: to his wife, Carmela; to his children, Brett, Leah,
Cambria, John, Nicholas, and Victoria; to his grandchildren,
Lindsey, Caden, Mackenzie, and Beau; and to his other relatives and
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 Thomas
Carson Edmondson, Jr.
Patrick
