WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and
workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives
in the pandemic was John Wier, a dedicated and well-respected
employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed
away on January 4, 2021, at the age of 52; and
WHEREAS, Born on August 24, 1968, John Wier was a man of deep
faith and a beloved member of his community; he shared a rewarding
marriage with his wife of more than 30 years, Brandy Wier, and he
was blessed with two children, Macie and Hunter, as well as several
grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Wier was hired as an agriculture specialist at
the Powledge Unit in Palestine in September 2020; he was known for
his strong work ethic and his friendly demeanor, and despite the
short period of time he was employed with the agency, he made a
lasting impression on his colleagues; and
WHEREAS, John Wier faithfully and ably performed his duties
throughout his tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice, and he will long be remembered with great admiration by all
who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
John Wier and extend deepest sympathy to his family, friends, and
colleagues; 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 John Wier.
