SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 578
In Memory
of
Alex Taylor Olmsted
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas pays tribute to the
life of Alex Taylor Olmsted, who died recently at the age of 18; and
WHEREAS, Alex was a beloved scholar and athlete at
Jefferson High School in San Antonio; a member of the senior
class, he ran track for the school and was an offensive lineman on
its football team; this exceptional young man will be missed for
his intellect, his quick wit, and his easy smile; and
WHEREAS, Alex was a member of the National Honor Society
and was a National Hispanic Merit finalist; after interning at a
law firm last summer, he had decided to become an attorney and had
applied for college at Harvard University; he was one of the top
10 students in his graduating class; and
WHEREAS, Although this outstanding student was taken at
such a young age, he made a lasting impression on all those who
knew him; his athletic talent was remarkable and his desire to
accomplish great things in life inspired his family and friends
alike, leaving a poignant legacy that will long be cherished;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the
bereaved family of Alex Taylor Olmsted; 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 adjourns this day, it do
so in memory of Alex Olmsted.
