HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 161
BY REPRESENTATIVE FREIBERG
A RESOLUTION
To commend Hunter Robertson on his selection as a 2024 Louisiana Public Broadcasting
Young Hero.
WHEREAS, Hunter Robertson is junior at Denham Springs High School and native
of Denham Springs, Louisiana; he was born four weeks early with a congenital anomaly
covering his back that necessitated regular biopsies, which instilled in him a degree of
empathy for other people's issues; and
WHEREAS, in October 2023, Hunter saved the life of a four-year-old girl who was
struggling to stay afloat in the pond behind his house; after Hurricane Ida, he helped clean
yards and delivered meals to the lineman restoring power; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Robertson is an active competitor in Junior Bassmaster, where he
has placed first at competitions on five occasions; in 2020, he competed in the Junior
National Bass Championship, and was also named Jr. Southwest Bassmaster Club
"Fisherman of the Year"; and
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hunter befriended a young neighbor
with Downs Syndrome and taught him how to cast a rod and spot a nibble; this became a
daily activity for the two boys, and within a week, his new friend had caught his first fish;
and
WHEREAS, Hunter Robertson is most deserving of the highest recognition for his
inspiring selflessness and compassion.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the
Legislature of Louisiana does hereby commend Hunter Robertson on his selection as a 2024
Louisiana Public Broadcasting Young Hero and does hereby extend sincerest wishes that he
continue his excellent work and always strive for greatness.
