H.R. No. 900
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the heartache felt by the
family of Carin Elizabeth Kopecki of Panna Maria and her son, Raley
Wayne Kopecki, who tragically lost their lives on June 6, 2022; and
WHEREAS, The former Carin Elizabeth Stocks was born on
June 27, 1989, to Steven and Tamlyn Stocks; she married Garrett
Kopecki on October 23, 2010, and after working as a nurse at
Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, she dedicated herself to
supporting her husband in his business; she cherished the time she
spent with her family and friends, and she enjoyed being out on the
water with loved ones, whether surfing, visiting the bay or Frio
River, or watching her husband wakeboard; fun-loving and
adventurous, she was also fond of flying, skydiving, off-roading,
and of course, shopping; she possessed a warm and caring nature and
never hesitated to help others with anything they needed; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Kopecki's marriage was further enriched by the
birth of the couple's son, Raley Wayne Kopecki, on July 7, 2016; an
energetic and spirited young boy, Raley liked to make friends, play
with his toys, tinker with tools, and roll around on his bicycle and
Razor, and he adored his dog, Tate; he also shared his parents' love
of venturing out to the lake and the beach, where he took joy in
swimming, fishing, surfing with his mother, and riding on the boat
and jet ski; and
WHEREAS, Although they will be greatly missed, Carin and
Raley Kopecki brightened the lives of everyone who was blessed to
know them, and they will forever hold a treasured place in the
hearts of their loved ones; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Carin Elizabeth and
Raley Wayne Kopecki and extend deepest condolences to the members
of their family: to Garrett Kopecki; to Tamlyn Stocks; to James
Leasman; to Brett and Anna Leasman; to Katy Curry; to Eddie Stocks;
to Jillian, Ryan, and Brax Leasman; to Kathy and Milton Kopecki; to
Blaise and Kim Kopecki; to Ryan Kopecki; to Kurt and Heather
Kopecki; to Ben and Genna Alexander; to Halleigh and Ty Kopecki; and
to their other relatives and friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for their family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Carin
Elizabeth and Raley Wayne Kopecki.
