R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an immeasurable loss
with the death of Myles Julian Anderson of El Paso on November 9,
2006, at the age of 20; and
WHEREAS, Myles Anderson was born in El Paso on August 31,
1986, to Chris and Kayla Anderson; he attended Cathedral High
School, where he showed true promise as an actor, accumulating more
credits as a performer than anyone else in the school's history; and
WHEREAS, For a government class project, Mr. Anderson
prepared a tribute in memory of a classmate who died while serving
his country in Iraq; the resolution became H.R. 161, which was
adopted during the 79th Texas Legislative Session; Mr. Anderson
accompanied his mentor, Chief Justice Richard Barajas, to the State
Capitol, and was present when the measure was read on the house
floor; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Anderson went on to attend St. Edwards
University in Austin, where he discovered a new passion,
photography; he returned to El Paso to pursue this interest, and his
work was exhibited in several local galleries; and
WHEREAS, Myles Anderson is remembered by all who knew him as a
warm and outgoing young man who befriended young and old alike; he
was known for offering to cut the grass of elderly members of his
church and to take nothing more than a glass of tea and some good
conversation in return; and
WHEREAS, Although his life ended far too soon, memories of
this beloved young Texan will forever endure in the hearts of the
many people who held him dear; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor the life of Myles Julian Anderson and
extend sincere condolences to his parents and to his other loved
ones; 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 Myles
Julian Anderson.
