	include several beloved grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Randy Kight
	will remember the way he touched their lives with his kindness,
	strength of character, and delightful sense of humor, and he leaves
	behind a legacy that will long be treasured by all those who held
	him dear; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas

	Barfield, Lori Day, and Kristi Godfrey; to his grandchildren; to
	his siblings, Tami Williams-Sevier, Debbie McNeely, and Larry
	Kight; and to all 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 Randy
	Kight.
