WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the loss of Deputy Sheriff Catherine Denee Breeding of the
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, who passed away on January 29,
2015, at the age of 21; and
WHEREAS, Catherine Breeding was born on August 12, 1993, to
Steve and Barbara Breeding in Conroe, where she grew up and shared
many happy childhood memories with her brothers, Matthew and
Christopher; a bright and enthusiastic student, she graduated cum
laude from Providence Classical Christian School in 2011, and she
took pleasure in performing with the Christian Youth Theater; she
also served on mission trips with The Crossing Church in The
Woodlands, and she was a valued member of The Ark Church in Conroe;
and
WHEREAS, While working part-time at a restaurant in The
Woodlands, Ms. Breeding became acquainted with a number of police
officers, an experience that kindled her desire to pursue a law
enforcement career of her own; she enrolled in the criminal justice
program at Lone Star College, and in October 2014, she graduated
second in her class at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office
Training Academy; assigned to patrol the area around The Woodlands,
she dedicated herself proudly and wholeheartedly to her work, and
she continued to strengthen the friendships that had helped her
discover her calling; she was also a member of the Combined Law
Enforcement Associations of Texas; and
WHEREAS, Deputy Breeding frequently volunteered her time at
local events, including the MS 150 Bike Ride, the Dragon Boat Races,
and the Run Thru the Woods; in every endeavor she undertook, she
enjoyed the support and affection of a host of friends and family,
and her warmth and sense of humor lightened the spirits of countless
people who shared in her journey; and
WHEREAS, Catherine Breeding found her purpose in serving the
community she loved, and though her life ended far too soon, those
fortunate enough to have known her will remember her light and
laughter, and she will forever hold a treasured place in their
hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Deputy Sheriff

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Deputy
Catherine Breeding.
