H.R. No. 1753
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately convey the profound sense of
loss felt by the family and friends of Trey Edward Thomas of Fresno,
who passed away on June 11, 2020, at the age of 17; and
WHEREAS, Born in Beaumont on May 6, 2003, Trey Thomas was the
cherished son of Charles Thomas and Kneco Walker; he enjoyed the
companionship of his four siblings, Darius, Isaiah, David, and
Kaycie, and his circle of love and support included his large
extended family; an honor roll student who took advanced placement
classes, he attended Sterling High School in Houston before
transferring to Hightower High School in Missouri City; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Thomas was a gifted athlete, collecting
All-American honors in track and earning All-District recognition
in football as a three-year letterman; his untimely passing has
inspired an outpouring of prayers and sympathy from the community
at large, testifying to the profound and positive role that he
played in the lives of others; the Hightower Hurricanes dedicated
the first game of the 2020 football season to the memory of their
beloved teammate, lining up with only 10 players on the field on
their first offensive play in honor of their missing 11th man; and
WHEREAS, Possessed of tremendous warmth, charm, strength of
character, and a radiant smile that could light up the room, Trey
Thomas brightened the world for all who knew him, and they will
forever hold him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Trey Edward Thomas and
extend deepest condolences to the members of his family: to his
father, Charles E. Thomas Jr.; to his mother, Kneco S. Walker; to
his brothers, Darius Allen Bassett Jr., Isaiah Thomas, and David
Ray Jr.; to his sister, Kaycie Thomas; to his grandfather, George
Nelson; to his grandmother, Esther Thomas; to his aunt, Tasha
Thomas; to his uncles, David Ray and his wife, De'Vonya, Phillip
Walker and his wife, Fatisha, Ryan Clark and his wife, Memri, and
Larry Williams and his wife, Nashara; to his special father, Darius
Bassett Sr.; and to his many other relatives and friends; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Trey
Thomas.
