A RESOLUTION to honor the memory of David Goodman of Wartburg.
The resolution commemorates not only the individual legacy of David Goodman but also underscores the role of community leaders in enhancing local and state quality of life. By honoring Goodman’s life's work, the resolution reinforces the values of service, integrity, and commitment that are central to public life. This kind of legislative recognition can inspire other community members to engage in public service and uphold those values, thereby strengthening civil society.
Senate Joint Resolution 122, sponsored by Senator Yager, serves as a formal tribute to honor the memory of David Goodman, a respected public servant from Wartburg, Tennessee. The resolution reflects on Goodman's significant contributions to his community through various roles, including his work as a Baptist minister, cattleman, small business owner, and board member of local organizations. Goodman’s life and service are celebrated for their exemplary quality, underscoring his commitment to improving the lives of his fellow citizens and his dedication to family values.
While the primary objective of SJR0122 is to memorialize David Goodman, such resolutions often face minimal opposition given their nature. However, discussions around memorial resolutions can sometimes evoke broader debates regarding the recognition of public service contributions in certain segments of society. No significant points of contention arose during the discussions of this resolution, indicating strong bipartisan support within the Tennessee legislature.
