H.R. No. 29
R E S O L U T I O N
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 Stacy Crosby, a dedicated and well-respected
employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, who passed
away on March 6, 2021, at the age of 57; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Crosby joined the TDCJ in March 1985 as a
corrections officer, and in 1997, he became a maintenance manager;
he retired in August 2014, but returned in February 2015, and he
most recently served as an engineering specialist at the Facilities
Division in Huntsville; and
WHEREAS, When he wasn't working, Mr. Crosby delighted in
fishing, going to the shooting range, or making things for his
family as a woodworker; he was a devoted husband to his wife,
Andrea, a loving father to his children, Ashley and Joshua, and a
doting grandfather to Layne; in all his endeavors, he drew strength
from his deep faith, and he was a role model and an inspiration to
his coworkers during his 35 years with the TDCJ; and
WHEREAS, Stacy Crosby 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, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
Stacy Crosby 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 Stacy
Crosby.
