         WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and
  meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends
  of Jesus Adalberto Lucio of Brownsville, who passed away on
  November 24, 2023, at the age of 71; and
         WHEREAS, The son of Eduardo and Josefa Lucio, "Jesse" Lucio
  was born in Brownsville on September 3, 1952; he grew up with nine
  siblings, Beatrice, Eddie, Bertie, Helen, Maggie, David, Bob, Joe,
  and Richard; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Lucio taught math in the Brownsville
  Independent School District and later became assistant principal at
  Sunny Glen Children's Home; in addition, he enjoyed a career as a
  golf pro, beginning with a part-time job at the Brownsville Country
  Club in 1981; he went on to serve as head coach at The University of
  Texas-Brownsville/Texas Southmost College from 1998 to 2004, and he
  was employed at the First Tee of Greater Brownsville from 2006 to
  2012; and
         WHEREAS, On July 5, 1996, Mr. Lucio married the love of his
  life, Ada Ramirez; the devoted couple raised four children,
  Jessica, Jaqueline, Anthony, and Julie, and their treasured family
  later grew to include a host of grandchildren; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Lucio drew strength from his Christian faith,
  and it helped sustain him through such challenges as the death of
  his brother, Joe, and his grandson, Baby Jesse; through the years,
  he set an inspiring example of compassion and forgiveness, and he
  was always ready to give someone a second chance or extend a helping
  hand to those in need; an avid outdoorsman, he loved fishing,
  hunting, sharing sunsets on the boat, and pondering the weather and
  the heavens; he had a passion for music and would linger in his car
  to savor the final notes of a good song; in addition, he was a loyal
  fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns and found camaraderie
  in discussing games with fellow football aficionados; and
         WHEREAS, Although Jesse Lucio will be deeply missed, the
  passage of time will never diminish the kindness and love that he
  brought into the lives of all who had the good fortune to know him;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 4th
  Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Jesus Adalberto
  "Jesse" Lucio and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his
  family: to his wife, Ada; to his son, Anthony Lucio; to his
  daughters, Jessica Lucio Marren, Jaqueline Lucio Stromquist, and
  Julie Lucio; to his brothers, Eddie, David, Bobby, and Ricky; to his
  sisters, Bea, Bertha, Helen, and Maggie; to his seven
  grandchildren; 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 Jesse Lucio.
