         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.
