WHEREAS, The untimely death of Justin M. Lynch of Mesquite on |
|
|
February 19, 2009, at the age of 24, has brought a profound loss to |
|
|
his students and fellow teachers at Agnew Middle School as well as |
|
|
to the family and friends of this highly respected young man; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Lynch had been a member of the Agnew faculty |
|
|
since the 2007-2008 school year and taught eighth-grade math; a |
|
|
devoted instructor, he was a positive influence in the lives of his |
|
|
students and found ways to build their self-esteem in the learning |
|
|
process; he also had a knack for making school fun, and his |
|
|
classroom jokes were a source of great amusement to the young people |
|
|
he taught; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on October 23, 1984, in Dallas, Mr. Lynch |
|
|
graduated from Poteet High School in 2003 and earned a degree from |
|
|
Texas A&M University in 2007; in choosing to pursue a career in |
|
|
education, he followed in the footsteps of his mother, Rita, who has |
|
|
worked in the Mesquite Independent School District for many years; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, To honor Mr. Lynch, the Agnew Middle School |
|
|
eighth-grade basketball team dedicated a February basketball |
|
|
tournament to his memory, and a scholarship fund has been |
|
|
established in his name; these tributes are an indication of the |
|
|
great admiration that he earned during his brief time at the school, |
|
|
and recollections of his humor, generosity, and concern for others |
|
|
will be forever treasured by those who had the good fortune to know |
|
|
him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Justin M. Lynch and |
|
|
express sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife, |
|
|
Kimberly; to his parents, John and Rita Lynch; to his sisters, Amy |
|
|
LaGrange and her husband, Donnie, and Melissa Chase and her |
|
|
husband, Brandon; to his six nieces and nephews; and to his other |
|
|
relatives and 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 Justin |
|
|
Lynch. |
