SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1097
In Memory
of
Rex Neal Van de Putte
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins citizens
across the state in mourning the untimely loss of Rex Neal Van de
Putte, who passed away on May 7, 2013, at the age of five and
one-half months; and
WHEREAS, Rex Van de Putte was born on November 16, 2012, to
Samantha Isaacs and Gregory Rex Van de Putte; he was heartily
welcomed into this world by his parents and his brothers, Elliot
and Asher, and by his grandparents and many other relatives and
friends; and
WHEREAS, Even before his birth, Rex was special and deeply
loved, so his arrival was an occasion for great joy on the part of
his entire family; and
WHEREAS, An adorable baby boy with beautiful blue eyes and
a winsome smile, Rex was a charmer; he had a sweet chuckle and an
easy disposition and his own distinctive and engaging
personality; and
WHEREAS, Rex was blessed to have the love of two wonderful
dedicated and caring parents, and although his time on this earth
was tragically short, his love for them and the joy he brought
them are gifts they will treasure forever; and
WHEREAS, Rex was an endearing, cherished, special little
person, and his brief presence among us reminds us to embrace life's
most precious moments and hold them close to our hearts; and
WHEREAS, While he graced this world for only a few months,
Rex Van de Putte was beloved by many, and he leaves behind
memories that will continue to live in the hearts and minds of all
who were blessed to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby extend sincerest condolences to our bereaved
colleague, Senator Leticia Van de Putte, and the entire family of
Rex Neal Van de Putte; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
Senate, and that when the Senate of the 83rd Legislature adjourns
sine die this day, it do so in memory of Rex Neal Van de Putte.
Zaffirini, Whitmire
