H.R. No. 427
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Family and friends deeply mourn the tragic passing
of U.S. Marine Cristobal Cano of Clint on November 3, 2004, at the
age of 18, and seek to still the pain of loss by remembering his
strength, courage, and love; and
WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of El Paso County, Mr. Cano was
born on May 31, 1986; he was a member of the Catholic Church and
attended Clint High School, where he was a valued member of the
Junior ROTC and varsity football programs; and
WHEREAS, This courageous young man had recently fulfilled a
long-held dream to become a Marine, and he was preparing to assume
active duty in September 2005; smart, talented, and witty, Mr. Cano
was also admired for his enthusiasm and kindness toward others; and
WHEREAS, Although it is immeasurably painful to say good-bye
to one so young and full of promise, the many people whose lives
were touched by Cristobal Cano will long cherish his memory; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the life of U.S. Marine Cristobal Cano and
extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his
father, Leo Cano; to his mother, Frances Hernandez; to his
brothers, Ernesto and Leo; to his sister, Tina; to his grandmother,
Julieta Valenzuela; 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 Cristobal
Cano.
