R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Patrick Michael Escalante
of Victoria suffered an immeasurable loss with his death on
June 30, 2023, at the age of 30; and
WHEREAS, Born on October 2, 1992, Patrick Escalante was the
only child of Ernesto G. and Deborah Villafranca Escalante, and he
grew up as part of a loving extended family that included his
grandparents as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
WHEREAS, An alumnus of the Nazareth Academy, Mr. Escalante
continued his education at Victoria West High School and graduated
with the Class of 2012; he participated in Cub Scouts in his youth,
and he later became a temporary member of the ROTC; sustained by a
deep and abiding faith, he was an altar server at Our Lady of
Sorrows Catholic Church; he was also passionate about fishing, the
Club Westerner, and Mumphord's Place BBQ, and despite being
surrounded by Dallas Cowboys fans, he was a staunch supporter of the
Green Bay Packers; and
WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth ended far too soon,
those fortunate enough to have known Patrick Escalante will always
remember the way he touched their lives with his infectious smile,
his larger-than-life personality, and his determined spirit, and he
will forever hold a treasured place in their hearts; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
of Patrick Michael Escalante and extend deepest condolences to the
members of his family: to his parents, Ernesto G. and Deborah
Villafranca Escalante; to his grandparents, Edward and Augustina
Guerra Moya; and to his other relatives and friends; 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 Patrick
Escalante.
