H.C.R. No. 229
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Clayton Bradley Rogers of
Canton on April 27, 2009, at the age of 26, has brought a tremendous
loss to his loved ones; and
WHEREAS, A native of Sulphur Springs, Clay Rogers was born to
Bradley and Rachelle Rogers on September 15, 1982; he was an
enthusiastic outdoorsman and spent much of his free time bass
fishing on lakes in Texas and Arizona; and
WHEREAS, Weekend trips to Lake Fork brought Mr. Rogers
immense pleasure, and he spent many happy hours there competing in
fishing tournaments with his father; in the winter, he relished
hunting at the deer lease, and he gladly shared his knowledge of
both sports with his younger brother; and
WHEREAS, Deeply devoted to his family and his beloved wife,
Allison, Mr. Rogers had a caring, generous, and optimistic nature,
and he demonstrated profound appreciation for the people he loved
and the simple things that gave him joy; and
WHEREAS, Although no words can diminish the pain caused by a
young life cut short, those who were fortunate enough to know Clay
Rogers will hold him forever in their hearts and cherish his
enduring gift of love and compassion; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Clayton Bradley Rogers and
extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife,
Allison Rogers; to his parents, Bradley and Rachelle Rogers; to his
sister and brother, Kenzi and Kaden Rogers; to his grandmothers,
Sue Rogers and Ruth Morrison; 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 House of
Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of
Clayton Bradley Rogers.
