Saint Paul, Minnesota; a cowboy at heart since his childhood |

|
Cyndee Smith in 1992; his son and daughter, Sean McMahon and Kate |

|
pride and joy for him, and he was a doting grandfather to his two |
|
|
beloved grandchildren, Reece Hoppensteadt and Emery McMahon; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Noted for his easy laughter and his impeccable |
|
|
cowboy style, he was a source of inspiration to his many friends |
|
|
and loved ones through his kind and generous spirit and his |
|
|
enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest; he was a treasured |
|
|
Texas citizen and an esteemed member of the Washington community, |
|
|
and he leaves behind memories that will long be cherished by all |
|
|
who were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
