R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The passing of Lorenzo Pacheco Armendariz of Fabens 
on March 7, 2006, has brought a profoundly felt loss to the family 
and friends of this beloved man; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Mexico on April 15, 1925, Mr. Armendariz 
grew up with his godparents on a cattle ranch in the Chihuahua 
desert, where he developed his lifelong passion for raising cattle; 
he moved to the United States when he was a teenager, and he lived in 
La Isla and worked for Rawls farm for more than a decade; and
	WHEREAS, In 1955, he married Genoveva Romero Belmonte, with 
whom he would have seven children; the couple moved to Fabens, where 
Mr. Armendariz was employed by Farmers Cotton gin, SWIG Compress, 
and the Fabens Delinting Plant over the next 10 years; in 1964, he 
began a new career as an independent farm contractor, and he 
subcontracted to farmers throughout Fabens and the surrounding 
valleys for more than 15 years; he went to work for the State of 
Texas in 1980 and retired eight years later; and
	WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Lorenzo 
Armendariz will remember his dedication to his family and his 
friends and his love of ranching and the cowboy way of life; 
although he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on in the 
hearts of those whose lives he touched; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Lorenzo Pacheco Armendariz and extend sincere sympathy to the 
members of his family: to his wife, Genoveva; to his children; and 
to his other family members and 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 Lorenzo 
Pacheco Armendariz.
