WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an unimaginable loss |
|
with the tragic passing of Brandon Luke Earley of Reno on February |
|
15, 2019, at the age of 17; and |
|
WHEREAS, The cherished son of Mikeal Earley and Tonya McGuire |
|
Pendleton, Luke Earley was born on January 22, 2002, in Mount |
|
Pleasant; he was blessed with the affection of many loved ones, |
|
including his three brothers, Dylan, Kreese, and Landon, and |
|
numerous extended family members; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Earley was a junior at Rivercrest High School |
|
and was known for his heart of gold, infectious smile, and |
|
mischievous sense of humor; warm and friendly, he never met a |
|
stranger and was always ready with a hug to share with others; from |
|
an early age, he had an unparalleled passion for big trucks and |
|
heavy equipment, and he enjoyed nothing more than driving diesel |
|
trucks and talking to truck drivers on a CB radio; he was also |
|
active in the rodeo scene, and he was a member of the Cowboy Church |
|
of Paris; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although his journey on this earth ended far too |
|
soon, Luke Earley brightened the world for all around him, and time |
|
will never dim their memories of the joy he brought into their |
|
lives; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Brandon Luke Earley |
|
and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family: to his |
|
father, Mikeal Earley, and his wife, Keitha; to his mother, Tonya |
|
Pendleton, and her husband, Kacy; to his brothers, Dylan Earley, |
|
Kreese Pendleton, and Landon Bevins; to his grandparents, Roger and |
|
Linda Earley, Floyd and Betty McGuire, Frank and Margaret Joplin, |
|
Glenn and Linda Adams, and Thurman and Brenda Russell; and to his |
|
many other relatives and friends; 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 Brandon |
|
Luke Earley. |
