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 Godfrey Zuze, a dedicated and well-respected
employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed
away on February 8, 2021, at the age of 48; and
WHEREAS, A man of devout faith, Godfrey Zuze served as pastor
of Miracle Faith Dynamic Ministries in Houston; he shared a
rewarding relationship with his wife, Bella, and took great pride
in their two children, Crown and Treasure; he always made time for
his loved ones, including his family in the United States and his
relatives in his native Zambia; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Zuze worked as a correctional officer at the
Estelle Unit in Huntsville, and he hoped to one day become a
chaplain for the TDCJ; his devotion to his beliefs was readily
apparent to everyone, and he endeared himself to his colleagues
with his cheerful demeanor and his willingness to help others; and
WHEREAS, Godfrey Zuze 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
Godfrey Zuze 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 Godfrey
Zuze.
