SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 154
In Memory
of
Heath Abram Faucheux
WHEREAS, No words can soften the pain of a life cut short,
but the family and friends of Heath Abram Faucheux of Hallsville
may find comfort in their memories of this beloved young man,
who passed away on August 5, 2017, at the age of 16; and
WHEREAS, The son of Dion and Michelle Faucheux and brother
of Nathan and Trent Faucheux, Heath Faucheux was born in
Effingham, Illinois, on March 20, 2001; he attended Hallsville
High School, where he was a member of the National Honor Society
and played French horn in the Hallsville Bobcat Band; in addition,
he enjoyed making music at the piano or on the harmonica, and he
recently taught himself to play trumpet; his musical tastes were
broad, ranging from jazz and show tunes to classic hits and
Christian songs; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Faucheux was a member of the Hallsville Math
Science Team and competed in Academic University Interscholastic
League from sixth grade onward; athletic as well, he earned a
first-degree black belt in tae kwon do and lifeguard certification
from the American Red Cross; his greatest enthusiasm was
scouting, and he excelled in the movement from his days as a Tiger
Cub, earning the Arrow of Light and nearing completion of his
Eagle Scout requirements; a natural leader, he set an example of
kindness, courtesy, and integrity; he enjoyed teaching skills to
younger scouts, and he was a staff member for National Youth
Leadership Training Camp, Cub Day Camp, and Camporee, as well as
senior patrol leader, guide, and bugler for his own troop; his
sense of adventure found an outlet in mountain climbing, knee
boarding, canoeing, sailing, swimming, and many other outdoor
activities; and
WHEREAS, Uncommonly mature and observant for his age,
Heath Faucheux demonstrated a high degree of empathy, and he
reached out to those who were shy or uncertain; his smile, sense
of humor, and wildly creative ideas brightened the days of
everyone he encountered; although the loss of one so full of
promise brings immeasurable heartache, those he leaves behind
will forever cherish the precious years they shared with him;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life
of Heath Abram Faucheux and extend deepest condolences to all who
mourn his passing; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do
so in memory of Heath Abram Faucheux.
