SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 70
In Memory
of
Jesus Adalberto Lucio
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.
LaMantia, Hughes
