  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

  active in the rodeo scene, and he was a member of the Cowboy Church
  of Paris; and

  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

  prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
  Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Brandon
  Luke Earley.
