	H.R. No. 37



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas
	have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and
	workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives
	in the pandemic was Kenneth Russell, a dedicated and well-respected
	employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed
	away on December 2, 2020, at the age of 84; and
	WHEREAS, Kenneth Russell joined TDCJ at the age of 74 as a
	maintenance supervisor at the Smith Unit in Lamesa; he was a loving
	husband to his wife of 50 years, Patricia, and the proud father of
	six children, Jeff, Kerry, Steven, John, Sandy, and Allen; working
	well into his 80s, he outperformed many younger employees, and his
	enthusiasm and diligence endeared him to the facility's staff and
	its inmates; and
	WHEREAS, Kenneth Russell faithfully and ably performed his
	duties throughout his tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal
	Justice, and he will long be remembered with great admiration by all
	who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
	Kenneth Russell and extend deepest sympathy to his family, friends,
	and colleagues; 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 Kenneth
	Russell.

	Murr
