WHEREAS, No words can diminish the pain of a young life cut
short, and it is with deep sadness that we join in mourning the loss
of Alex Wilson of Arlington, who died on September 11, 2009, at the
age of 20; and
WHEREAS, The son of Toby and Kim Wilson, Alex Wilson
graduated from Oakridge High School in 2007; continuing his
education, he went on to attend Baylor University; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Wilson brightened the world around him with his
ready smile; his warm, outgoing nature brought him a host of
admirers, and he was always ready to lend a helping hand or give a
hug to someone who needed encouragement; and
WHEREAS, In his leisure time, Mr. Wilson enjoyed pursuing his
interests in cars, boats, and golf; he took his greatest delight,
however, in the numerous close friendships he formed; and
WHEREAS, Alex Wilson brought joy to countless people, and
those who were privileged to know him will forever treasure their
memories of many happy times spent in his company; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas

prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Alex
Wilson.
