	H.R. No. 376



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The untimely death of Charles Winfred Roberts of
	Katy on January 13, 2017, at the age of 59, has brought a great loss
	to the family and many friends of this beloved gentleman; and
	WHEREAS, This compassionate Texan cared dearly for the
	animals that he was committed to rescuing, and his pets, which
	included six dogs and a horse, were like family to him; he devoted
	his life in retirement to volunteering with Rescued Pets Movement
	in the Heights, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing
	second chances to dogs and cats in need of homes; for over a year, he
	and his son Jared made the long trip to deliver dogs and cats
	scheduled for euthanasia from Houston to Colorado, where they might
	be adopted; Mr. Roberts was killed in an automobile accident while
	en route on one of these trips; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Dallas on May 29, 1957, Charles Roberts was
	the son of Charles and Helen Phillipo Roberts; a resident of the
	Katy area since 1993, he shared a fulfilling relationship with his
	cherished wife, Theresa Ann, and was the devoted father of four
	children, Shalia, Rhiannon, Brandon, and Jared; through the years,
	he took joy in welcoming into his family two grandchildren, Alexa
	and Maximus, and he was also a doting uncle and great-uncle; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Roberts radiated warmth and generosity, winning
	the affection of everyone that he encountered, and he was fond of
	sharing his knowledge of politics, the military, and Texas and
	world history; moreover, he enjoyed watching Dallas Cowboys games
	with his daughter Rhiannon, along with traveling, playing the
	guitar, fishing, snorkeling, stargazing, and a host of other
	eclectic hobbies; and
	WHEREAS, Charles Roberts was a source of strength and
	inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and although
	his loss is difficult to bear, his loved ones may find comfort in
	remembering the wonderful times that they shared with him and the
	integrity and kindness with which he lived; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Charles Winfred
	Roberts and extend sincere condolences to all those who mourn his
	passing; 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 Charles
	Roberts.
