has worked closely with parents, teachers, administrators, and
other concerned citizens to foster a supportive and challenging

tutoring, career exploration, and job placement services to over
1,000 area young people, and he has also served as pastor of
Bethlehem Baptist Church for more than 20 years; in all his
endeavors, he is blessed with the love and support of a treasured
family that includes his wife, Lisa, and their two children,
Michael and Richard; and
WHEREAS, The people of Mansfield have benefited immeasurably
from this esteemed Texan's vision and leadership, and his efforts
have helped provide countless local students with a strong academic
foundation on which to build a bright and prosperous future; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Dr. Michael Evans Sr. for his service on
