S.C.R. No. 29
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Countless lives were forever enriched by the
inspiring leadership and joyful spirit of Patrick Honeycutt of
Austin, who passed away on January 30, 2009, at the age of 63; and
WHEREAS, Born to Frank and Frances Honeycutt on July 18,
1945, Pat Honeycutt grew up in Monahans and graduated from Sul Ross
State University; he and his wife, Nancy, raised a close-knit
family, and Mr. Honeycutt took great pride in his five children and
two grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Honeycutt's gridiron coaching career began as an
assistant football coach and defensive coordinator for the Euless
Trinity High School Trojans; in 1992 he became the head football
coach and athletic director for McCallum High School in Austin,
where he remained until the time of his death; during his tenure,
which spanned more than 17 years, Coach Honeycutt inspired numerous
student-athletes, and the McCallum Knights won three consecutive
district championships from 2004 to 2007; consistently generous
with his time, he showed his support for the school's other athletic
teams by attending those events as well; and
WHEREAS, Though it is impossible to gauge the full effect of
one man's life, the admiration and affection felt for Pat Honeycutt
were evidenced by the attendance of some 2,500 people at a memorial
service held in his honor, and he leaves behind a legacy that will
long resonate in the lives of all who knew him; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby pay tribute to the life of Patrick Honeycutt and extend
sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife, Nancy
Honeycutt; to his children, Julie Bryant and her husband, Dan,
Jamie Woods and her husband, Steve, Lauren and Ryan Honeycutt, and
Tanner Kudela; to his mother, Frances Honeycutt; to his brothers,
Mike Honeycutt and his wife, Sheryl, and Steve Honeycutt and his
wife, Judy; to his grandchildren, Alex Weaver and Jake Bryant; to
his nephews, Brad and Tyler Honeycutt; to his nieces, Jackie
Marquette and Jennifer Haecker; 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 and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of
Pat Honeycutt.
