Mitch McCormick | ||
WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew | ||
to a close with the passing of Mitchel A. McCormick of Harlingen | ||
on July 15, 2022, at the age of 69; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of William "Mac" and Mary McCormick, Mitch | ||
McCormick was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, on January 2, 1953, | ||
and he grew up with the companionship of five brothers, Shelly, | ||
Wayne, Steve, John, and Bill; as part of a military family, he | ||
lived in a number of places around the world during his | ||
childhood, and he graduated from Stuttgart American High School | ||
in Germany in 1971; and | ||
WHEREAS, Answering his nation's call to duty, | ||
Mr. McCormick served in the U.S. Army for nine years, including | ||
more than five years as a member of the Honor Guard in Washington, | ||
D.C.; he climbed the ranks to become senior soloist on the Honor | ||
Guard's traveling drill team, and he went on to serve in a | ||
mechanized infantry unit in Germany for over three years; and | ||
WHEREAS, After receiving an honorable discharge, | ||
Mr. McCormick held a variety of jobs before starting his career | ||
with Domino's Pizza as a franchise area leader, and through the | ||
years, he became the owner of six stores; during more than three | ||
decades as a franchisee with the company, he ably led some of the | ||
highest-grossing stores in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, Above all else, Mr. McCormick was devoted to his | ||
family; he shared a rewarding marriage with his wife, Penni, and | ||
he took immense pride in his sons, Travis, Lance, Davis, and | ||
Colin; in his leisure hours, Mr. McCormick enjoyed reading, | ||
visiting the beach, spending time with his family, and traveling | ||
with his Stuttgart friends; and | ||
WHEREAS, While the passing of Mitch McCormick brings great | ||
sorrow to his loved ones, he leaves behind a legacy that will long | ||
be treasured by all those who held him dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||

wife, Elizabeth, Lance McCormick, Davis Eubanks, and Colin | ||
Eubanks; to his siblings, Wayne McCormick and his wife, Delores, | ||
Shelly McCormick, and Steve McCormick and his wife, Sandra; and | ||
to his other relatives and many friends; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
this day, it do so in memory of Mitch McCormick. | ||
