	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Michael Dohn Reesing of Waco 
on September 2, 2002, at the age of 51, has brought a deep sadness to 
the family and many friends of this esteemed gentleman; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Hamilton on July 26, 1951, to Walter and

this Waco Richfield High School alumnus later attended North Texas 
State University and McLennan Community College; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Reesing's career with the Texas comptroller of 
public accounts spanned 26 years and reflected his commitment to 
serving the people of the Lone Star State with integrity and 
fairness; and
	WHEREAS, He gave of his time and energy to his community, as a 
league softball player and as an active member of Trinity Lutheran 
Church, where his fellow congregants knew him as a longtime elder; 
this gentle soul's zest for life was captured in the words of his 
favorite song, Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World"; and
	WHEREAS, Though Mr. Reesing's kindness and generous spirit 
will be deeply missed by all who knew him, his memory will live on in 
the hearts and minds of the many people whose lives he so deeply 
touched; now, therefore, be it

Billy, and Cheryl and Katrina Cook; to his mother, Frances Wiede 
Reesing; to his brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Debi Reesing; 
to his nephews and niece, Kyle, Todd, and Megan Reesing; and to all 
those who mourn the passing of this beloved man; 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 Michael 
Dohn Reesing.
