R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Jose "Rene" De La Torre of 
San Antonio, on July 10, 2005, at the age of 20, has brought a great 
loss to the family and many friends of this beloved young man; and
	WHEREAS, Born on October 16, 1984, to proud parents Rene and 
Martha De La Torre, he touched many people in his lifetime with his 
humor, charm, and compassion; he benefited tremendously from the 
love and support of his family, and in return he brought joy and 
affection into their lives and into the lives of his high school 
sweetheart, Stephanie, and his closest friends, George, Daniel, 
Chris, Said, Ruben, and Stephen; and
	WHEREAS, A graduate of South San Antonio High School, Mr. De 
La Torre was a natural athlete who loved playing baseball, 
football, and basketball; and
	WHEREAS, He chose accounting as his academic focus at Palo 
Alto College, where he enjoyed the camaraderie of many classmates 
and could often be seen on campus wearing an irrepressible smile; 
and
	WHEREAS, Although it is painful to say good-bye to one so 
young and full of promise, it is fitting to remember that while his 
time on this earth was far too brief, Rene De La Torre profoundly 
affected the lives of those around him, and he leaves behind a 
legacy to treasure for those who held him dear; now, therefore, be 
it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Jose "Rene" De La Torre and extend deepest sympathy to the members 
of his family:  to his parents, Rene and Martha De La Torre; to his 
sisters, Christina and Lilian; to his brothers-in-law, Jorge and 
Marcus; to his nieces and nephew, George, Daisy, and Cleo; to his 
girlfriend, Stephanie; 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 House of 
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Jose "Rene" 
De La Torre.

                                                                          Uresti
