WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and
meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends
of Jesus Adalberto Lucio of Brownsville, who passed away on
November 24, 2023, at the age of 71; and
WHEREAS, The son of Eduardo and Josefa Lucio, "Jesse" Lucio
was born in Brownsville on September 3, 1952; he grew up with nine
siblings, Beatrice, Eddie, Bertie, Helen, Maggie, David, Bob, Joe,
and Richard; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Lucio taught math in the Brownsville
Independent School District and later became assistant principal at
Sunny Glen Children's Home; in addition, he enjoyed a career as a
golf pro, beginning with a part-time job at the Brownsville Country
Club in 1981; he went on to serve as head coach at The University of
Texas-Brownsville/Texas Southmost College from 1998 to 2004, and he
was employed at the First Tee of Greater Brownsville from 2006 to
2012; and
WHEREAS, On July 5, 1996, Mr. Lucio married the love of his
life, Ada Ramirez; the devoted couple raised four children,
Jessica, Jaqueline, Anthony, and Julie, and their treasured family
later grew to include a host of grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Lucio drew strength from his Christian faith,
and it helped sustain him through such challenges as the death of
his brother, Joe, and his grandson, Baby Jesse; through the years,
he set an inspiring example of compassion and forgiveness, and he
was always ready to give someone a second chance or extend a helping
hand to those in need; an avid outdoorsman, he loved fishing,
hunting, sharing sunsets on the boat, and pondering the weather and
the heavens; he had a passion for music and would linger in his car
to savor the final notes of a good song; in addition, he was a loyal
fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns and found camaraderie
in discussing games with fellow football aficionados; and
WHEREAS, Although Jesse Lucio will be deeply missed, the
passage of time will never diminish the kindness and love that he
brought into the lives of all who had the good fortune to know him;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 4th
Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Jesus Adalberto
"Jesse" Lucio and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his
family: to his wife, Ada; to his son, Anthony Lucio; to his
daughters, Jessica Lucio Marren, Jaqueline Lucio Stromquist, and
Julie Lucio; to his brothers, Eddie, David, Bobby, and Ricky; to his
sisters, Bea, Bertha, Helen, and Maggie; to his seven
grandchildren; and to his other relatives and many friends; 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 Jesse Lucio.
