                                                                  H.R. No. 2050



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A kind and generous life came to an end with the 
passing of Leon Anton Sevcik, Jr., of Bryan on May 7, 2005, at the 
age of 60; and
	WHEREAS, A native of  La Grange, he moved with his family as a 
child to Galveston, where he attended Kirwin High School, and it was 
there that this well-rounded young man achieved a perfect 
attendance record and was a member of the football team that took 
the state championship in his senior year; and
	WHEREAS, While in high school, Mr. Sevcik met his future 
wife, Mardell, whom he married shortly after their graduation in 
1963, and they became the parents of three children, Leon "Bubba" 
Sevcik III, Lisa, and Patrick; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Sevcik and his family moved to Bryan in 1969 when 
he was relocated there by his employer, the Firestone tire company, 
and three years later he struck out on his own by opening a Texaco 
service station; and
	WHEREAS, His reputation for honesty, integrity, and quality 
service won him many longtime customers and friends, at his first 
station in Bryan and later at his location in College Station; his 
service station, run today by his extended family, continues to 
thrive by carrying forward the traditional principles on which it 
was built; and
	WHEREAS, Although Mr. Sevcik's passing has created an absence 
that cannot be filled, those who were fortunate to call him friend 
will long remember him for his pride in his Czech heritage, his 
inspiring patriotism, his strong faith, and his genuine love of 
family and community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Leon Anton Sevcik, 
Jr., and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to 
his beloved wife, Mardell Sevcik; to his children and their 
spouses, Patrick and Kaye Sevcik and Lisa and Mark Lindemulder; to 
his mother, Evelyn Sevcik; to his grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren; to his brothers and sister-in-law, Hugo 
Sevcik and Anthony and Darla Sevcik; to his sister and 
brother-in-law, Laura and Mark Keilers; and to his other relatives 
and friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House 
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Leon 
Sevcik, Jr.
