SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 73
In Memory
of
Brian Jennings
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
Burleson community in mourning the loss of Brian Jennings, who
died June 16, 2013, at the age of 41; and
WHEREAS, Even as a young man, Brian Jennings had a strong
sense of faith, and his Christian values ultimately guided him to
a life of service; he joined the leadership of Alsbury Baptist
Church as a youth pastor in 2006 and spent subsequent years
offering invaluable guidance to the young people in the
community; and
WHEREAS, Known as "B. J." by those close to him, Mr.
Jennings was a longtime basketball fan with steadfast loyalty to
the Dallas Mavericks; family, friends, and parishioners were
drawn to his charismatic, fun-loving personality and his unique
ability to inspire others; and
WHEREAS, Beloved by many, Brian Jennings will continue to
live on in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched,
and he will long be remembered for his warm and generous spirit;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby extend sincere
condolences to the bereaved family of Brian Jennings: his wife
of 20 years and his three children; 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 Brian Jennings.
