WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas |
|
|
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and |
|
|
workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives |
|
|
in the pandemic was Stacy Crosby, a dedicated and well-respected |
|
|
employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed |
|
|
away on March 6, 2021, at the age of 57; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Crosby joined the TDCJ in March 1985 as a |
|
|
corrections officer, and in 1997, he became a maintenance manager; |
|
|
he retired in August 2014, but returned in February 2015, and he |
|
|
most recently served as an engineering specialist at the Facilities |
|
|
Division in Huntsville; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, When he wasn't working, Mr. Crosby delighted in |
|
|
fishing, going to the shooting range, or making things for his |
|
|
family as a woodworker; he was a devoted husband to his wife, |
|
|
Andrea, a loving father to his children, Ashley and Joshua, and a |
|
|
doting grandfather to Layne; in all his endeavors, he drew strength |
|
|
from his deep faith, and he was a role model and an inspiration to |
|
|
his coworkers during his 35 years with the TDCJ; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Stacy Crosby faithfully and ably performed his |
|
|
duties throughout his tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal |
|
|
Justice, and he will long be remembered with great admiration by all |
|
|
who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of |
|
|
Stacy Crosby and extend deepest sympathy to his family, friends, |
|
|
and colleagues; 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 Stacy |
|
|
Crosby. |
