	WHEREAS, The son of Nancy Volz Boettiger and John R.
	Boettiger, Sr., Mr. Boettiger was born in San Antonio on February

	Leadership in Action Award; and
	WHEREAS, After completing his bachelor's degree in business
	administration at The University of Texas at Austin, Mr. Boettiger
	went on to earn his MBA there as well; he joined Deloitte Financial
	Advisory Services, LLP, in Houston and his brilliance, energy, and
	easy rapport with colleagues and clients brought him a promotion to
	principal after only seven years with the firm; highly respected in
	his profession, he was elected chair of the Texas Lyceum
	Association and was named to the inaugural Class of 40 Under 40 by
	the Houston Business Journal in 2009; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Boettiger married Michele Kokos on December 30,
	1993, and the couple became the proud parents of three daughters,
	Amelia, Amber, and Ava; devoted to both his family and the wider
	community, Mr. Boettiger volunteered tirelessly for business and
	charitable organizations and held numerous leadership positions;
	he was a Third Degree member of the Knights of Columbus, served on
	the boards of Project SEARCH, Crimestoppers of Houston, and the Sam
	Houston Area Council of Boy Scouts of America, and was a member of
	the advisory committee of the Immunization Partnership; in 2008, he
	was named one of the Five Outstanding Young Texans by the Texas
	Jaycees; and
	WHEREAS, John Boettiger expressed his strong faith through
	his many good works, and his warm smile and ready laughter brought
	joy to innumerable people; although he will be deeply missed, his
	kindness, compassion, and dedication to his community will continue
	to inspire those who were privileged to share in the richness of his
	life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 82nd Texas Legislature hereby pay tribute
