R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The loss of a child is cause for much sadness and 

grief, and the family and friends of Philip Michael "PK" Kory IV of 

Boerne mourn the passing of this beloved little boy, who left this 

world on July 28, 2005; and

	WHEREAS, Born on June 14, 2000, PK possessed boundless energy 

and enjoyed an array of sports, including soccer, T-ball, baseball, 

and swimming; he was bright and intuitive, demonstrating rare 

charisma and a genuine gift for rhetoric and persuasion; and

	WHEREAS, This clever five-year-old was a great fan of the 

"Harry Potter" series of books; he was preceded in death by his 

black Labrador retriever, Rosco, who will faithfully stay by his 

side as they tread the fields and valleys of nevermore and soar 

together through wispy, white clouds, as PK often dreamed of doing; 

and

	WHEREAS, In addition to his parents and younger brother, PK 

leaves behind his cousins, Gabriela, Blake, Jasmin, Lauren, and 

Cameron, and his best friends, Tyler and Marcus, all of whom are 

better for having known this dynamic and enthusiastic youngster; 

and

	WHEREAS, For reasons unknown, the circle of life is sometimes 

broken; and although the loss of PK Kory is difficult to bear, there 

is comfort to be found in remembering his life and the happiness 

that he brought to all who knew him; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 

Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 

Philip Michael Kory IV and extend deepest sympathy to his parents, 

Philip Michael Kory III and Catherine Gens Kory, and his younger 

brother, Matthew Kory; 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 Philip 

Michael Kory IV.
