In memory of Reynaldo Canchola Arteaga.
While SR620 does not propose any legislative changes or modifications to current state laws, it is significant in its role as a recognition of an individual's life and contributions to family and community. Such resolutions serve to reinforce community ties and acknowledge the personal stories behind public lives, emphasizing the importance of familial relationships and cultural heritage in the state of Texas.
Senate Resolution 620 serves as a memorial tribute to Reynaldo Canchola Arteaga, who passed away on April 11, 2019, at the age of 75. Born on July 26, 1943, and affectionately known as 'Canelo,' Reynaldo Arteaga's life was marked by deep connections to his family and community in San Antonio. The resolution highlights his long-standing marriage to Josefina Muñoz Arteaga and his role as a devoted father and grandfather. Through this resolution, the Texas Senate aims to honor his legacy and the memories he left behind for his loved ones.
The resolution reflects a collective sentiment of mourning and remembrance, but, like many memorials, it also underscores the competing narratives of individual lives within public discourse. The acknowledgment of Reynaldo Arteaga's contributions invites reflection on broader themes of community support, familial duty, and the importance of recognizing those who have passed in a way that fosters unity among those who remain.
