SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 596
In Memory
of
Uziyah Sergio Garcia
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, to Sergio Garcia and Mandy Marie Renfro; his family also
included his parent/guardians Brett and Nikki Cross, his
brothers Aiden and 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Uziyah Sergio
Garcia and extend heartfelt condolences to the members of his
family: to his parents, Sergio Garcia and Mandy Marie Renfro; to
his 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 Senate adjourns
this day, it do so in memory of Uziyah Garcia.
