In memory of Mickey Wayne Haisten.
While SR65 is a resolution rather than a bill that alters state laws, it brings attention to the life and legacy of an individual who showcased exemplary service. By honoring Mickey Haisten, the Senate affirms the importance of recognizing those who dedicate their lives to public service, thereby fostering community values of recognition and appreciation for individual contributions that enhance public safety and welfare.
Senate Resolution No. 65 serves as a tribute to the late Mickey Wayne Haisten, a valued member of the Alba community who passed away on May 27, 2017. The resolution acknowledges his contributions to the community, particularly through his 28 years of service with the Tyler Fire Department, where he retired as a captain. The resolution emphasizes his dedication not only to his profession but also to his community through his involvement in local governance and business.
As SR65 is primarily a commemorative resolution, there are limited points of contention typically associated with such tributes. However, discussions around memorial resolutions may occasionally arise concerning the appropriateness of the tribute, the selection of individuals honored, or the presentation of their contributions. Despite this, the resolution appears to receive unanimous support from the Senate, indicating broad consensus on commemorating Mr. Haisten's legacy.
