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.
