George Anton Belton |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the |
|
citizens of Bellaire in mourning the untimely loss of George |
|
Anton Belton, who died April 21, 2012, at the age of 13; and |
|
WHEREAS, George Belton was born January 19, 1999, to |
|
Elisabeth Lange and Timothy D. Belton; a fifth-generation Texan |
|
of German heritage, he was a loving and devoted brother to his |
|
older sister, Sophie Marie, and to his younger brothers, Carl |
|
Rudolph and Paul Clemens; and |
|
WHEREAS, He pursued his many and varied interests with |
|
passion, enthusiasm, and a drive for excellence; whether playing |
|
baseball, hunting, cheering for the Texas Longhorns, |
|
participating in the Boy Scouts, or serving at the church altar, |
|
he approached all his activities with a zest for life that was |
|
inspirational to all who knew him; and |
|
WHEREAS, In appreciation of the fine example of |
|
sportsmanship he set for others, the Bellaire Little League |
|
instituted its Sportsmanship Award in his honor; he was |
|
posthumously awarded the ranks of Life Scout and Star Scout by |
|
Boy Scout Troop 99 at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church, and |
|
Leadership Camp Texas renamed its annual Cabin Cup competition in |
|
recognition of George Belton and his embrace of the camp and the |
|
virtues it seeks to instill in young men; and |
|
WHEREAS, A young man of courage, strength, and |
|
determination, he gave unselfishly to others, and his fondness |
|
for all things outdoors, his ability to bring out the best in |
|
others, and his unbridled enthusiasm for living each day to the |
|
fullest will not be forgotten; and |
|
WHEREAS, He was devoted to his large and loving family, and |
|
he leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by his |
|
family and countless friends; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the |
|
bereaved family and friends of George Anton Belton; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the |
|
Texas Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do |
|
so in memory of George Anton Belton. |
