SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 799
In Memory
of
Nicolis Terrel Williams
WHEREAS, There are no words that can diminish the pain
caused by a young life cut short, but all who shared in the love
and friendship of Nicolis Terrel Williams of Sugar Land may find
comfort in their memories of this special young man, who died on
February 11, 2011, at the age of 20; and
WHEREAS, The son of Gregory Williams and Arlene Williams,
Nico Williams was born on November 13, 1990; he played saxophone
in the Kempner High School Cougar Marching Band and enjoyed
playing soccer; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Williams was a junior economics major at Texas
A&M University; he was looking forward to studying in Ireland
during the summer of 2011 and had his sights set on attending law
school; and
WHEREAS, A proud Aggie and a caring young man, Mr. Williams
assisted his fellow students through his work with Fish Camp, the
freshman orientation program, as well as with the Freshman
Leaders in Progress program and with CARPOOL, a student-run group
that provides free rides home on selected nights; his generosity
continues to bless others in extraordinary ways, for his support
of organ donation has helped to save the lives of five
individuals; and
WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth was far too brief,
Nico Williams brought great joy into many lives, and he will
forever be remembered with admiration and affection; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Nicolis "Nico"
Terrel Williams and extend deep condolences to the members of his
family: to his parents, Gregory Williams and Arlene Williams; to
his sister, Tiffany Williams; to his grandparents, Annie Jean
Williams and Hilton and Ernestine Green; 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 Senate adjourns
this day, it do so in memory of Nicolis Williams.
