WHEREAS, Cash Kociela passed away on September 24, 2024, at |
|
|
the age of nine, and memories of this vibrant and caring young boy |
|
|
will forever endure in the hearts of those who knew and loved him; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on January 22, 2015, Cash was the beloved son |
|
|
of Alexa Grimland and Don Kociela, and he is greatly missed by his |
|
|
sister, Taylor, with whom he loved to swim and ride bicycles around |
|
|
the neighborhood; he grew into an energetic and naturally athletic |
|
|
youngster who could outrun every child on the playground at his |
|
|
Montessori school, and he was guided through life by his |
|
|
adventurous spirit and his desire to explore the world around him; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Accompanied by his best friend, Jace, Cash |
|
|
fearlessly and playfully roamed his neighborhood, scaling fences |
|
|
and building makeshift forts; he loved animals, and he developed an |
|
|
affinity for the outdoors at an early age; he greatly enjoyed |
|
|
playing basketball and going fishing with his grandfather, Larry |
|
|
Grimland; in addition, his compassionate nature and his willingness |
|
|
to help others made him a cherished friend and readily endeared him |
|
|
to both his peers and older generations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although the tragic passing of Cash Kociela has |
|
|
brought an incalculable loss to the many people who held him dear, |
|
|
they may find comfort in knowing that their lives have been forever |
|
|
enriched by the love, laughter, and joy that they shared with him; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Cash Kociela and |
|
|
extend deepest condolences to his family and friends; 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 Cash |
|
|
Kociela. |
