WHEREAS, The tragic death of Harrison Brown of Graham on May |
|
1, 2017, at the age of 19, has immeasurably saddened the family, |
|
friends, and fellow students of this talented and beloved young |
|
man; and |
|
WHEREAS, A native of Graham, Harrison Brown was the son of |
|
Dr. Kurt Brown and Lori Brown, and he grew up with the companionship |
|
of his brother, John; he graduated in 2016 from Graham High School, |
|
where he frequently made the honor roll while also participating in |
|
track, cross-country, theater, and the student council; his deepest |
|
passion, however, was his love for music, and during his years at |
|
Graham High, he performed in the choir and the Rompin' Stompin' Big |
|
Blue Band, winning admiration for his beautiful voice and his skill |
|
in playing numerous instruments; in his senior year, he received |
|
more than a dozen scholarships to support his college studies; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Brown enrolled as a freshman at The University |
|
of Texas at Austin in the fall of 2016, and he was an enthusiastic |
|
Longhorn who wore his burnt orange with pride; he joined a |
|
fraternity and an a capella singing group on the campus, and he |
|
often brought smiles to his fellow residents at Jester East |
|
dormitory by singing in the halls and stairwells; his innate sense |
|
of joy and optimism won him the affection of many friends, and he |
|
had a remarkable way of lifting the spirits of everyone around him |
|
as well; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although his days were far too few, Harrison Brown |
|
will forever be remembered for the warmth, kindness, and laughter |
|
that he shared so freely with others; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Harrison Brown and |
|
extend deepest condolences to his loved ones and to all who mourn |
|
his passing; 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 Harrison |
|
Brown. |
