	at the age of 48; and

	WHEREAS, Jerry Walker was beloved by many; he exemplified
	the highest ideals of a law enforcement officer, and he will long
	be remembered with admiration and respect by all who were

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
	family of Detective Jerry Ronald Walker: his parents, Beverly and
	Robert Walker; his beloved partner, Hali Grooms; his children,
	Darien, Landon, Jace, and Lexi Walker; and, be it further
