SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 62
 
 
  In Memory
  of
  Robert Carlos Ynclan
 
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
  citizens of Gonzales County in mourning the loss of Sheriff
  Robert Carlos Ynclan, who died September 5, 2021, at the age of
  63; and
         WHEREAS, Robert Ynclan was born on June 1, 1958, in Dilley,
  Texas; he was raised on a ranch in Cotulla, and he later moved
  with his family to the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch in Stonewall,
  where his father worked; he excelled in high school basketball
  and was offered athletic scholarships to colleges, yet his time
  watching members of the Secret Service protect a United States
  president inspired him to turn down the scholarships and instead
  to pursue a path in law enforcement; and
         WHEREAS, Robert served with distinction as a state trooper
  for the Texas Department of Public Safety for many years; after
  his retirement, he went on to be elected as the first Latino
  sheriff of Gonzales County, and he earned a reputation for
  excellence as a public servant through his principled devotion to
  duty and his commitment to serving on behalf of all citizens; and
         WHEREAS, Robert shared a loving marriage with his best
  friend and true love, Cynthia Ynclan, and together they raised
  three children, Marrisa, Jaime, and Marco Ynclan, by loving
  spiritual example; he delighted in supporting his children in all
  their endeavors, and his three grandchildren were a source of
  great pride for him; and
         WHEREAS, Robert Ynclan was a man of fierce loyalty to
  friends, colleagues, and loved ones, and he was a treasured
  member of Two Rivers Bible Church; he touched the lives of
  thousands through his soft-spoken wisdom, his fair but firm
  attitude as a lawman, and his remarkable sense of humor, and he
  will long be remembered with respect and admiration by all who
  were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby extend sincere
  condolences to the bereaved family of Sheriff Robert Carlos
  Ynclan; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
  Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
  memory of Robert Ynclan.
