WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the untimely loss of |
|
|
Daryl Lee Farmer of Waco, who died on March 9, 2011, at the age of |
|
|
26; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on December 6, 1984, to Melissa and Jimmy Lee |
|
|
Farmer, "Bam Bam" Farmer earned his nickname through his great |
|
|
strength and amazing ability to accidentally break hammers, |
|
|
wrenches, and other heavy-duty tools that would normally be |
|
|
considered indestructible; with a deep admiration for his father's |
|
|
achievements as a race car driver, he came to adore race cars, radio |
|
|
control airplanes, and radio control cars; he was also an avid |
|
|
fisherman and had recently developed a passion for disc golf; he |
|
|
enjoyed spending time honing his skills with fellow members of the |
|
|
National Disc Golf Association; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Farmer's gladiator-like physique belied a soft |
|
|
heart, and he leapt into action whenever anyone needed help, |
|
|
however small or large the task; he demonstrated steadfast loyalty |
|
|
to his lifelong best friend, Colton Stroud, and devotion to his |
|
|
fiancee, Karmin Brown, with whom he shared a loving relationship |
|
|
for the past five years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Daryl Farmer treasured the time he spent in the |
|
|
company of his family and friends, and those he leaves behind will |
|
|
forever cherish their memories of this kind and caring young man; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Daryl Lee Farmer and |
|
|
extend sincere sympathies to the members of his family: to his |

|
|

further |
