In Memory |
|
of |
|
Jeremy Davis Brown |
|
|
WHEREAS, Countless lives were touched by the kindness and |
|
friendship of Jeremy Davis Brown of Austin, who passed away on |
|
September 9, 2014, at the age of 43; and |
|
WHEREAS, The son of David and Debra Brown, Jeremy Brown was |
|
born on January 31, 1971, in Biloxi, Mississippi; he graduated |
|
from Bellaire High School in 1989 and later earned his bachelor's |
|
degree in government from The University of Texas at Austin; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Brown was employed as a legal clerk for |
|
several prominent law firms while completing his doctor of |
|
jurisprudence degree at the South Texas College of Law in |
|
Houston; he also held a number of other jobs before becoming a |
|
lawyer, including positions as an assistant manager of a bungee |
|
jumping park and as a private investigator for ACTA |
|
Investigations in Houston, where he worked for more than a |
|
decade; and |
|

|
Texas Family Law Section, the Travis County Bar Association, and |
|
the Dallas County Bar Association; and |
|
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan delighted in the great |
|
outdoors, often spending his leisure time fishing and hunting in |
|
Texas and Mexico; a true animal lover throughout his life, he |
|
took immense pleasure in the company of his Labrador retrievers, |
|
and he often took it upon himself to protect animals from harm or |
|
neglect; and |
|
WHEREAS, While the life of Jeremy Brown ended far too soon, |
|
those fortunate enough to have known him will long remember the |
|
way he touched their lives with his warm personality and his |
|
ready smile, and he will forever hold a treasured place in their |
|
hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
