WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
|
the loss of Deputy Sheriff Catherine Denee Breeding of the |

|
2015, at the age of 21; and |

|
|
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 |
