|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
the loss of Deputy Sheriff Catherine Denee Breeding of the |
|
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, who passed away on January 29, |
|
2015, at the age of 21; and |
|
WHEREAS, Catherine Breeding was born on August 12, 1993, to |
|
Steve and Barbara Breeding in Conroe, where she grew up and shared |
|
many happy childhood memories with her brothers, Matthew and |
|
Christopher; a bright and enthusiastic student, she graduated cum |
|
laude from Providence Classical Christian School in 2011, and she |
|
took pleasure in performing with the Christian Youth Theater; she |
|
also served on mission trips with The Crossing Church in The |
|
Woodlands, and she was a valued member of The Ark Church in Conroe; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, While working part-time at a restaurant in The |
|
Woodlands, Ms. Breeding became acquainted with a number of police |
|
officers, an experience that kindled her desire to pursue a law |
|
enforcement career of her own; she enrolled in the criminal justice |
|
program at Lone Star College, and in October 2014, she graduated |
|
second in her class at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office |
|
Training Academy; assigned to patrol the area around The Woodlands, |
|
she dedicated herself proudly and wholeheartedly to her work, and |
|
she continued to strengthen the friendships that had helped her |
|
discover her calling; she was also a member of the Combined Law |
|
Enforcement Associations of Texas; and |
|
WHEREAS, Deputy Breeding frequently volunteered her time at |
|
local events, including the MS 150 Bike Ride, the Dragon Boat Races, |
|
and the Run Thru the Woods; in every endeavor she undertook, she |
|
enjoyed the support and affection of a host of friends and family, |
|
and her warmth and sense of humor lightened the spirits of countless |
|
people who shared in her journey; and |
|
WHEREAS, Catherine Breeding found her purpose in serving the |
|
community she loved, and though her life ended far too soon, those |
|
fortunate enough to have known her will remember her light and |
|
laughter, and she will forever hold a treasured place in their |
|
hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Deputy Sheriff |
|
Catherine Denee Breeding and extend deepest sympathy to the members |
|
of her family: to her parents, Steve and Barbara Breeding; to her |
|
brothers, Matthew and Christopher Breeding; to her grandparents, |
|
Jim and Jo Ann Breeding, Lucille Landry, and Robert Landry; to her |
|
uncles and aunts, Bruce and Lucille Cudmore, Chris and Maria Tassa, |
|
Joel Breeding, Ellen Fouts, and Barbara Abadie; to her cousins, |
|
Bruce and Kelly Cudmore, Bob Cudmore, Fred and Rosie Beaubien, |
|
Benjamin Cudmore, Amanda, Cherrie, and Sarah Jo Abadie, and |
|
Gabriella, Christopher, Anthony, and Andrea Tassa; and to her other |
|
relatives and many friends; and, be it further |
|
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Deputy |
|
Catherine Breeding. |
