|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at | ||
| the tragic loss of Heath Abram Faucheux of Hallsville, who died on | ||
| August 5, 2017, at the age of 16; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Effingham, Illinois, on March 20, 2001, | ||
| Heath was the son of Dion and Michelle Faucheux and the brother of | ||
| Nathan and Trent; as a student at Hallsville High School, he was | ||
| active in the National Honor Society, the Hallsville Bobcat Band, | ||
| and the Hallsville Math Science Team, and he was excited to compete | ||
| in academic UIL events, where he earned a number of medals; in | ||
| addition, he obtained a first-degree black belt in tae kwon do and | ||
| had recently gotten certified as an American Red Cross lifeguard; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Faucheux was especially passionate about his | ||
| involvement in the Boy Scouts; joining the organization as a Tiger | ||
| Cub, he received the prestigious Arrow of Light Award, and he looked | ||
| forward to completing a service project for the Tyler Discovery | ||
| Center to earn his Eagle Scout badge; an outstanding leader among | ||
| his fellow scouts, he enjoyed teaching first aid and other survival | ||
| skills to younger peers, and he enthusiastically took on activities | ||
| like kayaking, archery, sailing, and mountain climbing during his | ||
| many adventures in the organization; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Imaginative and creative, Mr. Faucheux loved music, | ||
| and in addition to the French horn he played in his school's band, | ||
| he played the piano, the harmonica, and the trumpet; he was a | ||
| cherished son, brother, and friend, and he delighted those around | ||
| him with his charm and his entertaining, often unpredictable | ||
| antics; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although the passing of this remarkable young man is | ||
| an immeasurable loss to his loved ones, their lives were forever | ||
| enriched by the happy times they shared with him, and he will always | ||
| hold a special place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory | ||
| of Heath Abram Faucheux and extend deepest 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 Heath | ||
| Faucheux. | ||
