SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 584
In Memory
of
Alexandria A. Rubio
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache
felt by the family and friends of Alexandria Aniyah Rubio of
Uvalde, who passed away on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio, who was affectionately known as
"Lexi," was born in Hondo on October 20, 2011, to Kimberly
Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; she shared a loving bond with her two
sisters, Jahleela and Kalisa, and her three brothers, Julian,
David, and Isaiah, and she drew on the support of a large extended
family that included her grandparents, great-grandparents,
aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
WHEREAS, An athletic and energetic fourth-grader,
Alexandria inherited her father's passion for playing softball
and basketball; they devoted many hours to their one-on-one
practice sessions, and Lexi relished the experience of winning a
championship with her youth basketball team last season; she also
drew inspiration from her mother, who was pursuing a degree from
St. Mary's University in San Antonio, and she hoped to one day
enroll at the university herself to study mathematics then attend
law school; and
WHEREAS, Alexandria cherished the time she spent with her
family and friends, and some of her favorite activities included
baking cookies with her great-grandmother, exchanging jokes with
her loved ones, and curling up on the couch with a book; though
she possessed a sarcastic wit, she was also caring and generous,
and she had a beautiful smile that naturally progressed into
hearty laughter whenever she was around her siblings; and
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio was a source of immense joy to
everyone in her life, and although her loss is tremendously
difficult to bear, her memory will forever be treasured by all
who were blessed to know her; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Alexandria Aniyah
Rubio and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
family: to her parents, Kimberly Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; to
her siblings, Julian Rubio, Jahleela Rubio, David Falcon III,
Kalisa Barboza, and Isaiah Rodriguez; to her aunt, Analyse Mata,
and her uncle, Brandon Mendoza Sr.; to her cousins, Brandon
Mendoza Jr., Derek Mendoza, and Mary-Claire Mendoza; to her
grandparents, Cindy Castillo and her husband, Victor, Ruben F.
Mata and his wife, Larisa, and Connie and Luis "Chacho" Rubio; to
her great-grandparents, Mary and Ruben Mata, Margie and Julian
Moreno, Oralia Orona and Trini Gutierrez, and Jesse and Maxine
Martinez; to her numerous great-aunts, great-uncles, and
cousins; to her best friend, Sarah; and to the countless others
in Uvalde and beyond who mourn her passing; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
this day, it do so in memory of Alexandria Rubio.
