WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Colton O'Neil Stults on
May 27, 2023, at the age of 17, has brought an incalculable loss to
all those who knew and loved him; and
WHEREAS, Born on November 30, 2005, Colton Stults was
cherished by his parents, Tim and Kendra Stults, and his younger
sister, Sarah, as well as by an extended family that included his
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins; he was deeply devoted to
his loved ones, and he also drew great strength from his faith; and
WHEREAS, This exceptional young man had dreams of one day
becoming a physician at Arkansas Children's Hospital; an excellent
student, he earned a score of 33 on the ACT, which placed him in the
98th percentile of high school students nationwide; he was admired
for his humility and quiet confidence, and he made an impression on
everyone around him with his wonderful sense of humor, his
creativity, and his enthusiasm for life; and
WHEREAS, Although his passing leaves a tremendous void, those
fortunate enough to have known Colton Stults will forever remember
the joy and love that he brought into their lives; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 1st
