Tim Carlton Thatcher | ||
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and | ||
commemorates the life of Tim Carlton Thatcher, who died May 7, | ||
2012, at the age of 41; and | ||
WHEREAS, Tim Thatcher was born June 14, 1970, in Corvallis, | ||
Oregon; he grew up in Sequim, Washington, and was a 1988 honors | ||
graduate of Sequim High School; and | ||
WHEREAS, He attended the University of Puget Sound, and he | ||
worked for a brief stint with the Boeing Company before joining | ||
the Peace Corps; assigned to three years of service in Nicaragua | ||
by the Peace Corps, he traveled extensively throughout Central | ||
and South America, and during that time he developed a lifelong | ||
love for all things Latin; and | ||
WHEREAS, He met his beloved wife, Cristiana, in San | ||
Salvador in 1995, and they were married April 4, 1998, in | ||
Managua, Nicaragua; they raised three children together, | ||
Cristopher Alan, Nicolas Andres, and Sofia Loree, who were a | ||
source of much pride and joy; and | ||
WHEREAS, Tim was blessed with many talents and interests; | ||
in addition to his successful 11-year career with Dell, | ||
Incorporated, he was a skilled woodworker who crafted numerous | ||
gifts for those he loved; he was also an avid baseball fan who | ||
amassed an impressive collection of the sport's memorabilia, and | ||
he was noted for the great enjoyment he derived from camping and | ||
fishing; and | ||
WHEREAS, Tim was a man of strength and determination, and | ||
his courage in the face of his illness was an inspiration to all | ||
who knew him; he gave unselfishly to others, and his warm smile, | ||
his dry sense of humor, and his enthusiasm for living each day to | ||
the fullest will not be forgotten; and | ||
WHEREAS, He was a devoted husband and father, 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 of Tim Carlton Thatcher; 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 Tim Thatcher. | ||
