R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is proud to honor
1-2 16-year-old Jaime Ray Kear, a true Texas hero, for his quick
1-3 thinking in an emergency recently saved the life of his
1-4 grandfather; and
1-5 WHEREAS, On March 7, 1999, the teenager arrived home shortly
1-6 after his grandfather, Dale Garvin, had suffered a heart attack
1-7 while getting into his truck; while other family members called
1-8 9-1-1, Mr. Kear determined that his grandfather had no pulse and
1-9 was not breathing, pulled him from the truck to lay him on the
1-10 driveway, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until
1-11 paramedics arrived; and
1-12 WHEREAS, It was the opinion of the paramedics on the scene
1-13 that without the young man's adept performance of CPR before their
1-14 arrival, Mr. Garvin could not have been revived; equally impressive
1-15 is the fact that Mr. Kear had received no formal training in the
1-16 lifesaving technique but had actually only seen the procedure
1-17 demonstrated on the television series "Baywatch"; and
1-18 WHEREAS, This outstanding young man aspires to a career as a
1-19 firefighter; he attends L. D. Bell High School in Hurst, where his
1-20 extracurricular pursuits include football and weight lifting; his
1-21 proud family also includes his parents, Cindy and Kenneth Garvin,
1-22 and two sisters, Alex and Toni; and
1-23 WHEREAS, Mr. Kear's immediate response in the face of his
1-24 grandfather's life-threatening heart attack is most deserving of
2-1 special recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
2-2 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
2-3 Legislature hereby commend Jaime Ray Kear for the role he played in
2-4 saving the life of his grandfather and extend to him best wishes
2-5 for happiness and success in the future; and, be it further
2-6 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-7 prepared for Mr. Kear as an expression of high regard by the Texas
2-8 House of Representatives.
