R E S O L U T I O N
         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 Frank Edward Rose, a dedicated and
  well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal
  Justice, who passed away on November 4, 2020, at the age of 56; and
         WHEREAS, Born on February 28, 1964, in Belleville, Illinois,
  Frank Rose graduated from Hardin-Simmons University and received
  his teaching certificate from the University of Mary Washington; he
  was employed for 27 years at the Windham School District, and he was
  deeply respected for his work as a correctional educator for the
  district's pre-release program CHANGES; in 1992, he helped open the
  Robertson Unit in Abilene, where he was teaching at the time of his
  passing; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Rose was cherished by a family that included his
  daughter, Sheridan, and his grandson, Ayden; he was also well-loved
  by his coworkers, students, and graduates, all of whom were
  impacted by his gift for encouraging others to embrace positive
  change in their lives; he was always overjoyed to hear about
  graduates who had successfully met the challenges of reentering
  society, and he used these stories to inspire his current students
  to work toward a brighter future for themselves; and
         WHEREAS, Frank Rose 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
  Frank Edward Rose 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 Frank Rose.
