R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt by
  the family and friends of Wade Cannon of the Flower Mound Fire
  Department, who passed away on October 1, 2022, at the age of 33,
  after a courageous battle with cancer; and
         WHEREAS, Wade Cannon served his community as a firefighter
  paramedic and had been with the department for six years; he enjoyed
  a strong bond of camaraderie with his colleagues and was recognized
  as an energetic and spirited young man with a bright future ahead of
  him; and
         WHEREAS, In 2020, Mr. Cannon received the devastating news
  that he had stage four colon cancer; refusing to give up hope, he
  endured multiple clinical trials and many rounds of chemotherapy,
  and he urged other firefighters in the department to get screened
  for cancer, knowing that early detection could give them a better
  chance of survival; his encouragement led two of his colleagues to
  be screened for and diagnosed with colon cancer, allowing them to
  begin potentially lifesaving treatment sooner; and
         WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Cannon enjoyed the support
  of a loving family, including his wife, Chelsea Cannon, whom he
  treasured having by his side through every challenge; and
         WHEREAS, Although the passing of Wade Cannon is a tremendous
  loss to his community, he leaves behind a record of public service
  that will forever remain a source of pride to his loved ones; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Wade Cannon and extend
  heartfelt condolences 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 Wade
  Cannon.
