WHEREAS, Cash Kociela passed away on September 24, 2024, at
the age of nine, and memories of this vibrant and caring young boy
will forever endure in the hearts of those who knew and loved him;
and
WHEREAS, Born on January 22, 2015, Cash was the beloved son
of Alexa Grimland and Don Kociela, and he is greatly missed by his
sister, Taylor, with whom he loved to swim and ride bicycles around
the neighborhood; he grew into an energetic and naturally athletic
youngster who could outrun every child on the playground at his
Montessori school, and he was guided through life by his
adventurous spirit and his desire to explore the world around him;
and
WHEREAS, Accompanied by his best friend, Jace, Cash
fearlessly and playfully roamed his neighborhood, scaling fences
and building makeshift forts; he loved animals, and he developed an
affinity for the outdoors at an early age; he greatly enjoyed
playing basketball and going fishing with his grandfather, Larry
Grimland; in addition, his compassionate nature and his willingness
to help others made him a cherished friend and readily endeared him
to both his peers and older generations; and
WHEREAS, Although the tragic passing of Cash Kociela has
brought an incalculable loss to the many people who held him dear,
they may find comfort in knowing that their lives have been forever
enriched by the love, laughter, and joy that they shared with him;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Cash Kociela and
extend deepest condolences to his family 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 Cash
Kociela.
