|
|
WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Clayton Bradley Rogers of |
|
Canton on April 27, 2009, at the age of 26, has brought a tremendous |
|
loss to his loved ones; and |
|
WHEREAS, A native of Sulphur Springs, Clay Rogers was born to |

|
enthusiastic outdoorsman and spent much of his free time bass |

fishing on lakes in Texas and Arizona; and |
|
WHEREAS, Weekend trips to Lake Fork brought Mr. Rogers |
|
immense pleasure, and he spent many happy hours there competing in |

hunting at the deer lease, and he gladly shared his knowledge of |
|
both sports with his younger brother; and |
|
WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to his family and his beloved wife, |
|
Allison, Mr. Rogers had a caring, generous, and optimistic nature, |
|
and he demonstrated profound appreciation for the people he loved |
|
and the simple things that gave him joy; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although no words can diminish the pain caused by a |
|
young life cut short, those who were fortunate enough to know Clay |
|
Rogers will hold him forever in their hearts and cherish his |
|
enduring gift of love and compassion; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas |

|
Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of |
|
Clayton Bradley Rogers. |
