R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS,  The passing of the Honorable Gordon Reece Davis on 
January 13, 2005, is cause for reflection on this talented Texan's 
many accomplishments, and the sorrow of the loss is perhaps 
lessened by the sure knowledge that his was a life well lived; and
	WHEREAS, A true renaissance man, Mr. Davis brought his 
considerable gifts to a number of vocations during his life, 
including those of salesman, executive, inventor, songwriter, 
poet, postmaster, and deacon; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Davis also devoted much of his life to the public 
good, serving at various times as a U.S. Army National Guardsman, a 
justice of the peace, and as a member of the Texas House of 
Representatives during the 47th, 48th, and 50th legislative 
sessions; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout his life, Mr. Davis drew strength and 
sustenance from his faith, and his inspiring example continues to 
shine in the hearts of all who had the great good fortune to know 
him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of the Honorable Gordon 
Reece Davis and extend sincere sympathy to his sons, Gordon Ray, 
Edward Reece, Melvin Lee, and Alex Andy, to his daughters, Sally 
Elizabeth, Pamela, Beverly Reece, and Patsy Ruth, to the other 
members of his family, and to his many friends and admirers; 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 Gordon 
Reece Davis.
