R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Family and friends will long cherish their memories
of Sergeant Carl Thomas III of Kemp, who passed away on October 5,
2011, at the age of 37; and
WHEREAS, Born on November 19, 1973, in Dallas to Carl Henry

officer before becoming a peace officer in 2000, and he went on to
hold the position of communications officer at the Kaufman County
Law Enforcement Center; and
WHEREAS, Sergeant Thomas was an outstanding deputy and an
integral member of the force for 11 years; consistently
demonstrating his love of the job, he ably trained new deputies; he

the farm; and
WHEREAS, A beloved family member and respected public
servant, Skip Thomas departed this life far too soon, and he is
deeply missed by all those who were privileged to know him; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
