In Memory | ||
of | ||
George Anton Belton | ||
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the | ||
citizens of Bellaire in mourning the untimely loss of George | ||
Anton Belton, who died April 21, 2012, at the age of 13; and | ||
WHEREAS, George Belton was born January 19, 1999, to | ||
Elisabeth Lange and Timothy D. Belton; a fifth-generation Texan | ||
of German heritage, he was a loving and devoted brother to his | ||
older sister, Sophie Marie, and to his younger brothers, Carl | ||
Rudolph and Paul Clemens; and | ||
WHEREAS, He pursued his many and varied interests with | ||
passion, enthusiasm, and a drive for excellence; whether playing | ||
baseball, hunting, cheering for the Texas Longhorns, | ||
participating in the Boy Scouts, or serving at the church altar, | ||
he approached all his activities with a zest for life that was | ||
inspirational to all who knew him; and | ||
WHEREAS, In appreciation of the fine example of | ||
sportsmanship he set for others, the Bellaire Little League | ||
instituted its Sportsmanship Award in his honor; he was | ||
posthumously awarded the ranks of Life Scout and Star Scout by | ||
Boy Scout Troop 99 at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church, and | ||
Leadership Camp Texas renamed its annual Cabin Cup competition in | ||
recognition of George Belton and his embrace of the camp and the | ||
virtues it seeks to instill in young men; and | ||
WHEREAS, A young man of courage, strength, and | ||
determination, he gave unselfishly to others, and his fondness | ||
for all things outdoors, his ability to bring out the best in | ||
others, and his unbridled enthusiasm for living each day to the | ||
fullest will not be forgotten; and | ||
WHEREAS, He was devoted to his large and loving family, 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, | ||
83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the | ||
bereaved family and friends of George Anton Belton; 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 George Anton Belton. | ||
