WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an unimaginable loss
with the tragic passing of Brandon Luke Earley of Reno on February

WHEREAS, The cherished son of Mikeal Earley and Tonya McGuire

Pleasant; he was blessed with the affection of many loved ones,
including his three brothers, Dylan, Kreese, and Landon, and
numerous extended family members; and

and was known for his heart of gold, infectious smile, and
mischievous sense of humor; warm and friendly, he never met a

trucks and talking to truck drivers on a CB radio; he was also
active in the rodeo scene, and he was a member of the Cowboy Church
of Paris; and

soon, Luke Earley brightened the world for all around him, and time

lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Brandon Luke Earley
and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family: to his
father, Mikeal Earley, and his wife, Keitha; to his mother, Tonya
Pendleton, and her husband, Kacy; to his brothers, Dylan Earley,
Kreese Pendleton, and Landon Bevins; to his grandparents, Roger and
Linda Earley, Floyd and Betty McGuire, Frank and Margaret Joplin,

many other relatives and friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
