4	4	Michael DiTeresa
5	5	WHEREAS, Dr. Michael DiTeresa, a beloved physician and
6	6	cherished friend to many in the Tomball community, passed away on
7	7	June 6, 2020, his 46th birthday; and
8	8	WHEREAS, A native of Houston, Michael Anthony DiTeresa was
9	9	born on June 6, 1974, to Matt and Barbara DiTeresa and named after
10	10	patron saints Michael and Anthony; he was adored by his late
11	11	father and was raised in a close-knit family along with an older
12	12	brother, Matt, and a younger sister, Marisa; his intellectual
13	13	gifts were evident from an early age, and he went on to graduate
14	14	summa cum laude from Rice University before studying medicine at
15	15	The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas;
16	16	after completing his residency at Baylor University Medical
17	17	Center in Dallas, he embarked on a career in medicine that
18	18	empowered him to make a positive and profound difference in the
19	19	lives of others; and
20	20	WHEREAS, Dr. DiTeresa opened his private medical practice
21	21	in Tomball in 2004, and through the compassionate care he
22	22	provided, he readily won the esteem of his patients, his fellow
23	23	physicians, the nurses who worked alongside him, and countless
24	24	individuals in and beyond the community; he was a doctor of
25	25	immense enthusiasm, integrity, and ability, one who was ever
26	26	sensitive to the unique circumstances of his patients and who
27	27	always prioritized the needs of others ahead of his own; these
28	28	traits earned him a reputation for excellence in his field; and
29	29	WHEREAS, A man who had devoted his life to healing others,
30	30	Dr. DiTeresa waged his own courageous battle with pancreatic
31	31	cancer for 18 months, and from the support of those who rallied
32	32	around him, he found the strength and inspiration to continue
33	33	fighting every day; even as his battle drew to a close, he
34	34	demonstrated concern for fellow health care workers serving on
35	35	the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, for whom he had a great
36	36	deal of respect and admiration; and
37	37	WHEREAS, In addition to his exceptional achievements as a
38	38	physician, Dr. DiTeresa will be remembered for the passions and
39	39	interests that colored his life; he was an avid collector of
40	40	cars, a prolific reader, and a U2 "superfan" who traveled across
41	41	the world to see the band; he was also a scholar of the classics
42	42	and of Roman history, and he sought to live according to the
43	43	personal creed of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Strength and
44	44	Honor"; moreover, he was deeply patriotic, and he was known for
45	45	his strong Catholic faith; and
46	46	WHEREAS, Though his journey on this earth ended much too
47	47	soon, Dr. Michael DiTeresa created an inspiring legacy through
48	48	his generosity, humility, and selfless service, and the memory of
49	49	this extraordinary gentleman will forever light the hearts of
50	50	those he leaves behind; now, therefore, be it
51	51	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 87th Texas Legislature,
52	52	2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Dr. Michael
53	53	Anthony DiTeresa and extend sincere sympathy to the members of
54	54	his family: to his mother, Barbara Ann DiTeresa; to his brother,
55	55	Matthew Douglas DiTeresa; to his sister, Marisa Ann DiTeresa
56	56	Wuttke; to his sister-in-law, Megan Elizabeth DiTeresa; to his
57	57	brother-in-law, Axel Wuttke; to his nephews, Matthew Joseph and
58	58	Anthony Christian DiTeresa and Max and Luke Wuttke; to his best
59	59	friend, Paresh Patel; and to his other relatives and friends;
60	60	and, be it further
61	61	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
62	62	prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
63	63	this day, it do so in memory of Dr. Michael DiTeresa.
