	In Memory
	of
	Jimmy Ray Bridges

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
	citizens of Amarillo in mourning the loss of Jimmie Ray Bridges,
	who died February 22, 2018, at the age of 74; and
	WHEREAS, Born November 26, 1943, in Hereford, Texas,
	Jimmie Bridges was a man of natural charm and sharp wit, and he
	was admired by friends for the compassion he consistently showed
	to those who were struggling; and
	WHEREAS, Jimmie served with distinction for three years in
	the United States Army; he loved the military and enjoyed
	traveling to different parts of the country and the world; he
	actively supported his fellow veterans throughout his life; and
	WHEREAS, Jimmie was a highly skilled mechanic, and his
	loved ones often joked about his ability to walk into a wrecking
	yard and drive out with a working car; he later developed a talent
	for working on computers, and he gave generously of his time
	repairing and building cars and computers for friends or people
	in need; and
	WHEREAS, Jimmie worked for 25 years as a manager and
	maintenance technician at the Fountain Terrace Apartments in
	Amarillo, and he was a longtime and active member of Christian
	Heritage Church; he looked forward to riding his motorcycle with
	his fellow Christian bikers, and later in life, he enjoyed
	spending time at auctions and gun shows; and
	WHEREAS, A devoted father to his daughter, Shalyn Bridges,
	and a cherished friend to many, Jimmie Bridges enriched the lives
	of those who knew him through his youthful spirit, his warm and
	ready smile, and his boundless generosity; he was beloved by many,
	and he will long be remembered with respect and admiration by all
	who were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
	family of Jimmie Ray Bridges; 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
	Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
	memory of Jimmie Bridges.

	Watson, Seliger
