| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the | ||
| citizens of Austin County in mourning the loss of Douglas W. | ||
| King, who died December 17, 2018, at the age of 49; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Doug King was born on April 13, 1969, in | ||
| Bellville, to Dennis and Carolyn King; he learned the value of | ||
| hard work at a young age by working alongside his father, his | ||
| grandfathers, and his uncles in the family's construction | ||
| business, King Construction; he was an Eagle Scout and a 1987 | ||
| graduate of Brazos High School; and | ||
| WHEREAS, He and his beloved wife, the late Lori King, were | ||
| blessed with three children, Marisa, Racy, and Symantha; after | ||
| Lori's untimely death, he accepted the mantle of single | ||
| parenthood with courage and strength; his children were the focus | ||
| of his life, and he took great pleasure in serving as a | ||
| cheerleader for their activities and in learning such skills as | ||
| styling ponytails and braiding hair; he also served as a Scout | ||
| leader and a football coach; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to playing an important role in the | ||
| family business, he followed the example set by family members by | ||
| entering into public service; he served with distinction as an | ||
| Austin County commissioner representing Precinct 4, and he had | ||
| recently won reelection to a third term; and | ||
| WHEREAS, He was a devoted son, husband, and father, and he | ||
| leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by his | ||
| family and countless friends; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved | ||
| family of Douglas W. King; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas | ||
