R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to
  a close with the passing of Mark Barry Rogers of Boerne on
  October 14, 2023, at the age of 70; and
         WHEREAS, The son of Stanley and Judith Rogers, "Buck" Rogers
  was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on December 16, 1952, and grew up
  with his siblings, Paul and Jane; he earned his bachelor's degree in
  international affairs from the United States Air Force Academy in
  1975; commissioned as a second lieutenant, he was a fighter pilot
  from 1975 to 2001; he deployed in support of Operations Desert
  Shield and Desert Storm, and while serving as commander of the 492nd
  Fighter Squadron, he flew combat missions in support of Operation
  Deny Flight; he became commander of the 35th Operations Group in
  1996 and attained the rank of colonel before his retirement in 2001;
  he then embarked on a second career with FedEx as a pilot and first
  officer, flying until 2017; and
         WHEREAS, Dedicated to his community, Mr. Rogers was a member
  of the Kendall County Appraisal District Board and was honored as
  chair emeritus; he volunteered in support of Boerne ISD schools,
  and he was very involved in the Kendall County Republican Party,
  serving in the roles of treasurer, chair, and election judge and
  leading voter registration, outreach, and turnout campaigns; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Rogers shared a fulfilling relationship with
  his wife, Suzie, and he was the proud father of two daughters, Megan
  and Jennifer, and a son, Michael; through the years, the family grew
  to include his son-in-law, Adam, his daughter-in-law, Jessica, and
  his grandchildren, Emilee, Madeline, Wyatt, Paige, Luke, and Chase;
  and
         WHEREAS, An avid golfer, Mr. Rogers played the game around
  the world and delighted in reconnecting with friends and
  challenging himself on unfamiliar courses; in addition, he was a
  voracious reader and an enthusiastic singer, although his military
  precision did not always extend to the realm of pitch; he
  appreciated fine wine, a good cigar, and a glass of scotch, and his
  sense of humor and joie de vivre endeared him to innumerable people;
  and
         WHEREAS, While the death of Buck Rogers has brought great
  sorrow to all who were privileged to share in the richness of his
  life, they will continue to find inspiration in his devotion to his
  family, his community, and his country; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
  of Mark Barry "Buck" Rogers and extend sincere condolences to his
  loved ones; 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 Buck
  Rogers.
