H.C.R. No. 135
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The family and friends of U.S. Army Specialist Kerry
Michael George Danyluk suffered an immeasurable loss with the death
of this exemplary soldier on April 15, 2014, at the age of 27; and
WHEREAS, Born on November 1, 1986, in British Columbia,
Canada, Kerry Danyluk was the son of Diane and Kenneth Danyluk; he
moved with his family to Texas when he was eight years old and went
on to graduate in 2004 from Yoakum High School, where he played on
the varsity baseball team; after attending Victoria College, he
returned to British Columbia; and
WHEREAS, Fulfilling a lifelong goal, Mr. Danyluk enlisted in
the army in October 2010, and he underwent basic training at Fort
Benning, Georgia; he received further infantry and airborne
training and was ultimately selected for the Ranger Assessment and
Selection Program, which he completed with a "Top Shot" award; and
WHEREAS, Specialist Danyluk was deployed to Afghanistan as a
member of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and following his first tour of
duty, he became a scout sniper with the 10th Mountain Division 2-87
Scout Unit; while on patrol in Logar Province on April 12, he was
critically wounded by enemy forces using small-arms fire; he was
flown to Landstuhl, Germany, for treatment and passed away a few
days later, surrounded by his loved ones; and
WHEREAS, During his brief but distinguished military career,
Specialist Danyluk earned the respect of his fellow soldiers, and
he was the recipient of many awards and commendations; he was
treasured by all who knew him for his quiet strength, his love of
adventure, and his wonderful sense of humor; and
WHEREAS, Kerry Danyluk brought dedication, perseverance, and
courage to his every endeavor, and although his death left a void in
the lives of those who held him dear, they will forever find
inspiration in their memories of this heroic young man; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby pay tribute to the life of U.S. Army Specialist Kerry Michael
George Danyluk and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his
family: to his mother, Diane Danyluk; to his father, Kenneth
Danyluk; to his sister, Kristine, and her husband, Richard; to his
brother, Steve; and to his other relatives and friends; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House
of Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory
of Kerry Danyluk.
