	H.R. No. 430



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the
	passing of retired Texas game warden Garth William Shelby Robinson
	Jr. on August 5, 2024, at the age of 83; and
	WHEREAS, Born on Christmas Day in 1940, Bill Robinson was the
	son of Garth and Juanita Robinson; he graduated from Midway High
	School in 1959 and went on to sell cars for the Bird Kultgen Ford
	dealership in Waco before embarking on his career as a game warden
	with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 1966; and
	WHEREAS, Assigned to the Marble Falls and Kerrville regions,
	Mr. Robinson found tremendous fulfillment in his work and the
	opportunity it provided him to protect Texas' natural resources and
	ensure the safety of his fellow citizens; he was the recipient of
	numerous awards and commendations for his distinguished service,
	and he eventually retired as the chief of fisheries enforcement; a
	leader in his profession, he served his peers as president of the
	Texas Game Warden Association from 2000 to 2003 and also taught at
	the Game Warden Training Center in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Robinson enjoyed the love
	and support of his wife, Margaret; together, they created a blended
	family that included his sons, Mark, Steve, and Bryan, and his
	stepchildren, Jane, Brenda, Mark, Melanie, Robyn, and Robert, and
	over the years, he was blessed with many grandchildren and
	great-grandchildren as well; he took great pride in his involvement
	with the Blazing Star Masonic Lodge No. 413 in Marble Falls, and he
	had recently been awarded his 50-year certificate as a member of the
	organization; and
	WHEREAS, Bill Robinson was a devoted family man and a
	significant asset to his community and to the Texas Parks and
	Wildlife Department, and he leaves behind a record of service that
	will continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to know
	him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Garth William
	Shelby Robinson Jr. and extend deepest condolences to the members
	of his family: to his wife, Margaret Robinson; to his sons, Mark,
	Steve, and Bryan Robinson; to his sister, Jean Pederson, and her
	husband, Charles; to his stepchildren, Jane, Brenda, Mark, Melanie,
	Robyn, and Robert; to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren;
	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 Garth
	William Shelby Robinson Jr.

	Orr
