  In Memory
  of
  Uziyah Sergio Garcia
 
         WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an immeasurable loss
  with the tragic passing of Uziyah Sergio Garcia of Uvalde on
  May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and
         WHEREAS, Uzi Garcia was born in San Angelo on August 13,
  2011, to Sergio Garcia and Mandy Marie Renfro; his family also
  included his parent/guardians Brett and Nikki Cross, his
  brothers Aiden and Jaxon Cross, and his sisters Alissa Jackson,
  Desiaya Garcia, JoJo Cross, and Mykah "Mike" Garcia, along with
  his grandparents and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
         WHEREAS, Uziyah was an outgoing, sweet, and deeply
  affectionate young boy who treasured his family and particularly
  enjoyed spending time with his siblings; he demonstrated his
  fun-loving but competitive nature when gaming on his Nintendo
  Switch or Oculus, and he found other outlets for his abundant
  energy in activities like swimming, playing basketball, jumping
  on trampolines, and racing his friends around the playground at
  school; he also loved being silly and making everyone laugh with
  his jokes; and
         WHEREAS, Although Uzi Garcia's journey on this earth ended
  far too soon, he will forever hold a special place in the hearts
  of all those who were privileged to share in the blessing of his
  life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Uziyah Sergio
  Garcia and extend heartfelt condolences to the members of his
  family:  to his parents, Sergio Garcia and Mandy Marie Renfro; to
  his guardians, Brett and Nikki Cross; to his brothers, Aiden and
  Jaxon Cross; to his sisters, Alissa Jackson, Desiaya Garcia, JoJo
  Cross, and Mykah "Mike" Garcia; to his other relatives and
  friends; and to the countless others in Uvalde and beyond who
  mourn his passing; 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 Uziyah Garcia.
