|
|
indomitable will, generous spirit, and enthusiasm for living |

|
|
privileged to share in his life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jake was born on December 13, 2000, the second of |
|
|
three children; the tragic death of his father when he was a young |
|
|
boy created the opportunity for the family members to come |
|
|
together and empower one another, and Jake was the glue of the |
|
|
family during that trying time; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jake was a gifted athlete and a graduate of |
|
|
Westlake High School, where he served as captain of the football |
|
|
team; he was known for his fierce determination and willingness |
|
|
to do anything for the benefit of his team, and his legacy in |
|
|
Westlake football will live on for years to come; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After high school, he fulfilled a dream by |
|
|
attending The University of Texas at Austin as a player on the |
|
|
Longhorn football team; he studied finance at the McCombs School |
|
|
of Business and was a member of the Texas Silver Spurs and the Phi |
|
|
Gamma Delta Fraternity, and he was able to share the football |
|
|
field with his brother, Sam, who served as quarterback; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jake's radiant smile, selfless concern for |
|
|
others, and unwavering commitment to family brought joy and |
|
|
inspiration to all who knew him; he was beloved by the many who |
|
|
crossed his path, and he leaves behind memories that will be |
|
|
cherished forever by his family and countless friends; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved |
|
|
family of Jacob McAdams Ehlinger: his mother, Jena Ehlinger; his |
|
|
brother, Sam Ehlinger; and his sister, Morgen Ehlinger; 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 |
|
|
