R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The tragic loss of Stanley Wiley, who was killed in 
the line of duty on January 29, 2003, has left an immeasurable void 
in the lives of the family, friends, and colleagues of this beloved 
public servant; and
	WHEREAS, Born and raised in Amarillo, Mr. Wiley graduated 
from Tascosa High School in 1982 and went on to study at Amarillo 
College; and
	WHEREAS, He began his career with the Texas Department of 
Criminal Justice in June 1994 as a correctional officer at the Bill 
Clements Unit in Amarillo; he was later promoted to the position of 
industrial specialist, in which he supervised the prison's boot 
shop; and
	WHEREAS, Residents of the Lone Star State are indebted to the 
men and women of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice who, by 
their dedication to the public welfare, have enabled us to enjoy the 
benefits of a peaceful and orderly society; these individuals risk 
their lives daily in order to ensure the safety of others; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Wiley's fine legacy will endure and continue to 
be a source of inspiration to those who follow in this difficult but 
essential profession; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the life of Stanley Wiley and extend 
deepest sympathy to his family: to his father, Herman Wiley; to his 
sisters, Margaret Robertson and Catherine Nall; to his grandmother, 
Laverne Powers; to his nieces, Melinda Robertson, Shannon 
Robertson, and Rachel Nall; to his nephews, David and Michael Nall; 
and to his many friends and fellow officers; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House 
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Stanley 
Wiley.
