	WHEREAS, Residents of Atlanta, Texas, lost an admired

	WHEREAS, An Atlanta native, Keith Crow was born on

	after graduating from Atlanta High School in 1974, he earned a
	bachelor's degree in communications from East Texas State
	University in 1979, and he went on to enjoy a rewarding career as
	a licensed realtor and the owner of Keith Crow Realty; and
	WHEREAS, Dedicated to serving his community, Mr. Crow took
	office as the mayor of Atlanta in May 2006 and remained in that post

	for nearly four decades and served as Song Leader, Tail Twister,
	and president; a valued member of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
	he was named the group's Man of the Year in 1985; and
	WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan was blessed with two

	strong in his faith, he was a respected congregant of First
	Baptist Church of Atlanta, where he shared his passion for music
	by singing with the First Praise Adult Choir and the Boundless
	Love Quartet; and
	WHEREAS, Keith Crow will always be remembered for his
	kindness, his generosity, and his devotion to the city he loved,
	and although his journey on this earth ended far too soon, his
	life stands as an inspiring example of the good that one person
	can accomplish; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory

	members of his family: to his children, Blake Crow and his partner,
	Rachel McCoart, and Lauren Crow; to his father, J. W. Crow; to his
	brother, Johnny Crow and his wife, Connie; to his sister, Elaine

	his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do
	so in memory of Mayor Keith Crow.
