R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an immeasurable loss
with the tragic passing of Uziyah Sergio Garcia of Uvalde on
May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and
WHEREAS, Uzi Garcia was born in San Angelo on August 13, 2011,

Jaxon Cross, and his sisters Alissa Jackson, Desiaya Garcia, JoJo
Cross, and Mykah "Mike" Garcia, along with his grandparents and his
many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
WHEREAS, Uziyah was an outgoing, sweet, and deeply
affectionate young boy who treasured his family and particularly
enjoyed spending time with his siblings; he demonstrated his
fun-loving but competitive nature when gaming on his Nintendo
Switch or Oculus, and he found other outlets for his abundant energy
in activities like swimming, playing basketball, jumping on
trampolines, and racing his friends around the playground at
school; he also loved being silly and making everyone laugh with his
jokes; and
WHEREAS, Although Uzi Garcia's journey on this earth ended
far too soon, he will forever hold a special place in the hearts of
all those who were privileged to share in the blessing of his life;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas

guardians, Brett and Nikki Cross; to his brothers, Aiden and Jaxon
Cross; to his sisters, Alissa Jackson, Desiaya Garcia, JoJo Cross,
and Mykah "Mike" Garcia; to his other relatives and friends; and to
the countless others in Uvalde and beyond who mourn his passing;
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 Uziyah
Garcia.
King of Uvalde
