|
|

|
tranquility and to protect their fellow residents; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Deputy Sheriff Adam J. Davis of the Bell County |

|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout his tenure, which spanned 10 years and 10 |
|
|
months, Deputy Sheriff Davis demonstrated the loyalty, courage, and |
|
|
self-sacrifice that are consistent with the highest ideals of the |
|
|
law enforcement profession; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on Wednesday, December |
|
|
11, 2013, at the age of 36, Deputy Sheriff Davis will long be missed |
|
|
by his family, his fellow peace officers, and the entire community; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Deputy Sheriff |
|
|
Davis left behind a notable legacy that will forever be honored by |
|
|
those who follow in this difficult but essential profession; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Deputy Sheriff Adam J. |
|
|
Davis of the Bell County Sheriff's Office and extend deepest |

sympathy to his relatives, friends, and fellow officers; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
