WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life ended far too soon with |
|
|
the passing of Robert Daniel Rodriguez of Corpus Christi, who died |
|
|
on January 6, 2013, at the age of 35; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Rodriguez was born in Dallas on August 3, 1977, |
|
|
to Rene and Nelda Rodriguez; after graduating from Richard King |
|
|
High School in 1995, he earned a bachelor's degree from St. Edward's |
|
|
University in Austin and went on to attend law school at Texas |
|
|
Southern University in Houston; he worked as a prosecuting attorney |
|
|
for the Nueces County District Attorney's Office in Corpus Christi |
|
|
before entering private practice; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Affable and witty, Mr. Rodriguez never lost his |
|
|
sense of humor, even in his final days; he often made those around |
|
|
him laugh, while his natural kindness touched their hearts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Though no words can diminish the pain of a life cut |
|
|
short, those who shared in the love and friendship of Robert |
|
|
Rodriguez will forever treasure their memories of this special man; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Robert Daniel |
|
|
Rodriguez and extend sincere condolences to the members of his |

|
family: to his parents, Rene Daniel Rodriguez and Nelda Vidaurri |
|
|
Rodriguez; to his sister, Kate Marie Rodriguez; to his grandmother, |
|
|
Jilma Vidaurri; and to his other relatives and many 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 Robert |
|
|
Daniel Rodriguez. |
