|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
the untimely loss of Charles Andrew Bergfeld, Jr., of Conroe, who |
|
passed away on December 13, 2008, at the age of 23; and |
|

|
graduated from Conroe High School, where he played baseball and was |
|
captain of the football team; he went on to study construction |
|
science at Texas A&M University, and he was a valued member of Sigma |
|
Alpha Epsilon fraternity; and |
|
WHEREAS, Blessed with a lively personality and irrepressible |
|
good humor, Chase Bergfeld was a delight to all who knew him; he was |
|
renowned for his compassion and sense of responsibility, and he |
|
exhibited his deep concern for others even on the final day of his |
|
life; and |
|

|
February 3, 2009, at Silver Taps, the Texas A&M memorial ceremony; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, With his outgoing nature, Chase Bergfeld brought |
|
much happiness to those around him, and he set a powerful example in |
|
the way that he embraced life; although his time on this earth was |
|
far too brief, memories of time spent in the company of this beloved |
|
young man will be forever treasured by everyone who held him dear; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
