| In Memory | ||
| of | ||
| Heath Abram Faucheux | ||
| WHEREAS, No words can soften the pain of a life cut short, | ||
| but the family and friends of Heath Abram Faucheux of Hallsville | ||
| may find comfort in their memories of this beloved young man, | ||
| who passed away on August 5, 2017, at the age of 16; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The son of Dion and Michelle Faucheux and brother | ||
| of Nathan and Trent Faucheux, Heath Faucheux was born in | ||
| Effingham, Illinois, on March 20, 2001; he attended Hallsville | ||
| High School, where he was a member of the National Honor Society | ||
| and played French horn in the Hallsville Bobcat Band; in addition, | ||
| he enjoyed making music at the piano or on the harmonica, and he | ||
| recently taught himself to play trumpet; his musical tastes were | ||
| broad, ranging from jazz and show tunes to classic hits and | ||
| Christian songs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Faucheux was a member of the Hallsville Math | ||
| Science Team and competed in Academic University Interscholastic | ||
| League from sixth grade onward; athletic as well, he earned a | ||
| first-degree black belt in tae kwon do and lifeguard certification | ||
| from the American Red Cross; his greatest enthusiasm was | ||
| scouting, and he excelled in the movement from his days as a Tiger | ||
| Cub, earning the Arrow of Light and nearing completion of his | ||
| Eagle Scout requirements; a natural leader, he set an example of | ||
| kindness, courtesy, and integrity; he enjoyed teaching skills to | ||
| younger scouts, and he was a staff member for National Youth | ||
| Leadership Training Camp, Cub Day Camp, and Camporee, as well as | ||
| senior patrol leader, guide, and bugler for his own troop; his | ||
| sense of adventure found an outlet in mountain climbing, knee | ||
| boarding, canoeing, sailing, swimming, and many other outdoor | ||
| activities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Uncommonly mature and observant for his age, | ||
| Heath Faucheux demonstrated a high degree of empathy, and he | ||
| reached out to those who were shy or uncertain; his smile, sense | ||
| of humor, and wildly creative ideas brightened the days of | ||
| everyone he encountered; although the loss of one so full of | ||
| promise brings immeasurable heartache, those he leaves behind | ||
| will forever cherish the precious years they shared with him; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life | ||
| of Heath Abram Faucheux and extend deepest condolences to all who | ||
| mourn his passing; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do | ||
| so in memory of Heath Abram Faucheux. | ||
| Hughes | ||
