	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 446


	In Memory
	of
	Israel M. Nájera

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and pays
	tribute to the life of Brownsville resident Israel M. Nájera, who
	died February 17, 2013, at the age of 88; and
	WHEREAS, This loving father and dedicated public servant
	was beloved by many for his integrity, courage, and abiding work
	ethic; he taught his children to cultivate opportunity and
	education and to believe that through concerted effort, they
	could succeed at anything; and
	WHEREAS, Born October 14, 1924, Israel Nájera lost his
	father at the age of three and became a shoeshine boy at the age
	of six; the Great Depression had just begun, and he quickly
	learned that innovation and determination were keys to survival;
	when he was 16 years old, he joined the Civilian Conservation
	Corps and served in New Mexico; and
	WHEREAS, After returning to Brownsville, he took a job with
	the Brownsville Fire Department in 1947; he would spend the next
	40 years serving his community, ultimately becoming the city's
	assistant fire chief; he belonged to the International
	Association of Fire Fighters and was a charter and lifetime
	member of Brownsville Local 970; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Nájera was widely respected in his hometown of
	Brownsville; he was involved in many civic activities, and his
	friends and colleagues admired his devotion to his family and the
	way in which he passed down his values to his children and
	grandchildren, who will forever cherish his memory; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
	83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the
	bereaved family of Israel M. Nájera; 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 Israel Nájera.
	Lucio
