R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The life of Michael Brent Jones was cut tragically
short on December 21, 2003, at the age of 37, but memories of him
will forever endure in the hearts of those who knew and loved him;
and
WHEREAS, A cherished brother and uncle, Brent Jones treasured
his family and kept them close after the loss of his parents; he
shared an especially close bond with his wife, Julie, and was
thrilled to be a new father, embracing the delights and
responsibilities of parenting twins; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Jones had a zest for life that won him the
affection of many people; he had a talent for making people laugh,
and he enjoyed riding his motorcycle, heading to Galveston for a
weekend of fishing, and cheering loudly for his favorite football
team, The University of Texas Longhorns; and
WHEREAS, Though his journey on this earth was far too brief,
the richness he bestowed on his loved ones continues to resonate in
their lives today; in his character, in his generosity of spirit,
and in his gift to the world of two greatly adored children, Brent
Jones brought immeasurable joy to all who were privileged to be a
part of his life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Michael Brent Jones
and extend deepest sympathy to his wife, Julie, to his children, and
to his other relatives and many 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 Michael
Brent Jones.
