|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately convey the profound sense of |
|
|
loss felt by the family and friends of Trey Edward Thomas of Fresno, |
|
|
who passed away on June 11, 2020, at the age of 17; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Beaumont on May 6, 2003, Trey Thomas was the |
|
|
cherished son of Charles Thomas and Kneco Walker; he enjoyed the |
|
|
companionship of his four siblings, Darius, Isaiah, David, and |
|
|
Kaycie, and his circle of love and support included his large |
|
|
extended family; an honor roll student who took advanced placement |
|
|
classes, he attended Sterling High School in Houston before |
|
|
transferring to Hightower High School in Missouri City; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Thomas was a gifted athlete, collecting |
|
|
All-American honors in track and earning All-District recognition |
|
|
in football as a three-year letterman; his untimely passing has |
|
|
inspired an outpouring of prayers and sympathy from the community |
|
|
at large, testifying to the profound and positive role that he |
|
|
played in the lives of others; the Hightower Hurricanes dedicated |
|
|
the first game of the 2020 football season to the memory of their |
|
|
beloved teammate, lining up with only 10 players on the field on |
|
|
their first offensive play in honor of their missing 11th man; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Possessed of tremendous warmth, charm, strength of |
|
|
character, and a radiant smile that could light up the room, Trey |
|
|
Thomas brightened the world for all who knew him, and they will |
|
|
forever hold him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Trey Edward Thomas and |
|
|
extend deepest condolences to the members of his family: to his |
|
|
father, Charles E. Thomas Jr.; to his mother, Kneco S. Walker; to |
|
|
his brothers, Darius Allen Bassett Jr., Isaiah Thomas, and David |
|
|
Ray Jr.; to his sister, Kaycie Thomas; to his grandfather, George |
|
|
Nelson; to his grandmother, Esther Thomas; to his aunt, Tasha |
|
|
Thomas; to his uncles, David Ray and his wife, De'Vonya, Phillip |
|
|
Walker and his wife, Fatisha, Ryan Clark and his wife, Memri, and |
|
|
Larry Williams and his wife, Nashara; to his special father, Darius |
|
|
Bassett Sr.; and to his many other relatives and friends; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Trey |
|
|
Thomas. |
