WHEREAS, The family and friends of Kenneth James Hayes of |
|
|
Malakoff suffered an immeasurable loss with his death in November |
|
|
2018 at the age of 60; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Kermitt Hayes and Olene Thomas, Ken Hayes |
|
|
was born in Dallas on August 9, 1958, and he grew up in western |
|
|
Henderson County with three siblings, Jimmy, Karl, and Pamela; he |
|
|
worked for Texas Utilities Mining near Fairfield for nearly a |
|
|
quarter century before returning to Henderson County in the late |
|
|
1990s to found and operate Hayes & Company Custom Homes; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Hayes ably served his fellow citizens as |
|
|
Henderson County Commissioner for Precinct No. 1 from his |
|
|
inauguration in 2017 until his passing; his extensive record of |
|
|
public service further included his positions on the boards of the |
|
|
Henderson County Fair, Post Oak Cemetery, Trinity-Neches Soil and |
|
|
Water Conservation District, and Henderson County Livestock Show, |
|
|
as well as his membership on the Malakoff Independent School |
|
|
District school board, Go Texan Scholarship Committee, and the |
|
|
Henderson County Heifer Committee; moreover, he was a valued |
|
|
congregant of the First Baptist Church of Malakoff; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Hayes enjoyed the love and |
|
|
support of his wife, Joyce, and he took great pride in his children, |
|
|
Kristi, Josh, Jenni, and Katie; with the passing years he had the |
|
|
pleasure of seeing his family grow to include 10 grandchildren, |
|
|
Megan, Allie, Kyler, Paige, Kinleigh, Loden, Lukas, Seth, Ady, and |
|
|
Jace; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While Ken Hayes's passing has deprived the Henderson |
|
|
County community of one of its most admired leaders, those he leaves |
|
|
behind will continue to find inspiration in his many |
|
|
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Kenneth James Hayes |
|
|
and extend sincere sympathy 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 Ken Hayes. |
