	WHEREAS, The son of Pablo Lozano Sr. and Maria de Jesus Sierra
	de la Fuente, Gilbert Lozano was born in Brownsville on July 13,
	1944; he worked in a grocery store and at a hotel restaurant while
	attending Edinburg High School; coming of age during the Vietnam
	War era, he served his country in the United States Army, and he was
	deployed to Panama during a crisis in the Canal Zone; and
	WHEREAS, Following his military service, Mr. Lozano worked
	for General Motors in Michigan; he subsequently returned to the Rio
	Grande Valley, where he completed his education at Texas Southmost
	College and embarked on a career as a probation officer in Cameron
	County; he later transferred to the Willacy County Probation
	Department and settled in Raymondville; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Lozano was employed in probation for 25 years
	before his retirement; still eager to serve, he became the county's
	district clerk in 2003; he was determined to end the financial
	burden caused by an inefficient system of rotating state district
	judges in the county, and with the help of his state senator, he
	succeeded in having jurisdiction consolidated under a single court;
	in addition, he benefited his fellow citizens as a member of the
	Lions Club, VFW Post No. 6719, and American Legion Post No. 390;
	and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Lozano and his first wife, Anna Lopez, were
	blessed with five children, David, Gilbert, Elizabeth, Cristine,
	and Justin; in 1984, he wed the former Viola Cavazos, and they
	shared a quarter century of marriage; he loved to visit his children
	in Michigan, and he was devoted to his 10 grandchildren, his 10
	step-grandchildren, and his great-grandchild; genial and
	good-hearted, he showed compassion through many kind acts, and he
	enjoyed taking friends, colleagues, and acquaintances out fishing
	on his boat; and
	WHEREAS, Gilbert Lozano made a meaningful difference in the
	lives of his loved ones and fellow citizens alike, and his
	contributions will be fondly remembered for years to come; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Gilbert Lozano and
	extend sincere sympathy to his loved ones; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Gilbert
	Lozano.
