R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the tragic loss of Misael Hernandez of El Paso, who died on June 13,
2014, at the age of 17; and
WHEREAS, This vibrant and energetic young man graduated from
Horizon High School as the salutatorian of his class; possessing a
keen intellect as well as a gift for music, he played the saxophone
and served as a drum major for the school band, and he helped his
Social Studies UIL team to win a district championship; he was
preparing to attend The University of Texas at El Paso in the fall;
and
WHEREAS, A devout Christian, Mr. Hernandez strove to live
according to the ideals and beliefs he held dear, and he was an
active member of his church; his achievements made him an exemplary
role model to his fellow students, and during the commencement
speech that he delivered just days before his passing, he
encouraged his classmates to pursue their dreams and ambitions,
whatever they may be; and
WHEREAS, Misael Hernandez was beloved by his family, friends,
and neighbors in the community, and though his life ended far too
soon, memories of his warmth and optimism will live forever in the
hearts of those he leaves behind; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Misael Hernandez
and extend deepest condolences to his parents, Raquel and Francisco
Hernandez; to his sisters, Ymaliz and Yaeli Hernandez; and to his
other relatives and many friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Misael
Hernandez.
