SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 56
|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Brandon Bennett |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Brandon Wayne Bennett of |
|
|
Burleson on December 27, 2024, at the age of 17, has brought an |
|
|
unimaginable loss to the family and friends of this beloved young |
|
|
man; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Fort Worth on January 6, 2007, Brandon |
|
|
Bennett was raised in Burleson by his parents, James Bennett Jr. |
|
|
and Chloe Bennett; he also enjoyed the affection of his brothers, |
|
|
Brendan and Connor, and his sister, Samantha, with whom he shared |
|
|
a close bond; having professed his faith in 2023, he attended |
|
|
Southcliff Baptist Church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Bennett was a junior at Burleson Centennial |
|
|
High School, where he made numerous friends; he was a natural |
|
|
athlete and leader, and his competitive nature shone in his |
|
|
various pursuits, which included football, baseball, and |
|
|
hunting; he excelled at nearly everything he did, but his |
|
|
greatest trait of all was his caring heart; friendly and |
|
|
easygoing, he always tried to make others feel welcome, and he |
|
|
delighted those around him with his wonderful sense of humor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although his passing leaves a tremendous void, |
|
|
those fortunate enough to have known Brandon Bennett will never |
|
|
forget the joy, laughter, and love that he shared with them, and |
|
|
they will forever keep his memory alive in their hearts; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Brandon Wayne |
|
|
Bennett and extend profound condolences to the members of his |
|
|
family: to his parents, James and Chloe Bennett; to his sister, |
|
|
Samantha Bennett; to his brothers, Brendan and Connor Borden; to |
|
|
his biological mother, Deidra Putman; and to his many other |
|
|
relatives and friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns |
|
|
this day, it do so in memory of Brandon Bennett. |
