| in the pandemic was Godfrey Zuze, a dedicated and well-respected | ||

| his loved ones, including his family in the United States and his | ||
| relatives in his native Zambia; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Zuze worked as a correctional officer at the | ||
| Estelle Unit in Huntsville, and he hoped to one day become a | ||
| chaplain for the TDCJ; his devotion to his beliefs was readily | ||
| apparent to everyone, and he endeared himself to his colleagues | ||
| with his cheerful demeanor and his willingness to help others; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Godfrey Zuze 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 | ||
| Godfrey Zuze 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 Godfrey | ||
| Zuze. | ||
