H.R. No. 633
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A life lived with joy and purpose drew to a close
with the passing of Nick Bradshaw of Wimberley on February 4, 2023;
and
WHEREAS, Born in McAllen in 1948, Mr. Bradshaw attended Texas
A&M University before transferring to The University of Texas at
Austin, where he graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering
in 1971; after a brief time operating a house-painting business
with friends, he began his engineering career with the Lockheed
Missiles and Space Company in Sunnyvale, California; less than a
year later, he started working for a small marine engineering
consulting company in San Francisco that quickly became the premier
designer of offshore structures for oil production, and he went on
to enjoy a long and rewarding tenure with the company that took him
throughout the United States and the world, including London, where
he lived for 11 years; and
WHEREAS, In 2006, Mr. Bradshaw semi-retired and returned to
Texas; making his home in Wimberley, he became involved with a
number of organizations, such as the Wimberley Democrats and the
Hays County Master Gardeners, and he was also a board member and
past president of the Wimberley Players; in his leisure time, he
enjoyed traveling, gardening, and watching Texas Longhorn football
games; and
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Bradshaw benefited from
the love and support of his wife, Debbie, with whom he shared 50
years, and he was the proud father of three children, Ben, Nate, and
Lauren; and
WHEREAS, Although Nick Bradshaw is deeply missed, memories of
his passion for life, his wonderful sense of humor, and his devotion
to his family remain to comfort and inspire those he leaves behind;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Nick Bradshaw and
extend sincere condolences to all 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 Nick
Bradshaw.
