collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland,
providing a fitting occasion to posthumously honor the six men who
died in that tragic event; and
WHEREAS, In the early morning hours of March 26, 2024, a
construction crew was working an overnight shift to fill potholes
in the center span of the Francis Scott Key Bridge when a

Patapsco River, and first responders were able to rescue two of the
men shortly thereafter; and
WHEREAS, The deceased victims include Alejandro Hernandez
Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir
Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernández, Miguel Angel Luna
Gonzalez, and Jose Mynor Lopez; and
WHEREAS, The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was a
heartbreaking tragedy that continues to resonate deeply throughout
the nation, and it is indeed appropriate on this solemn anniversary
to remember those whose lives were lost in this incident; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the first anniversary of the
collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and pay tribute to the
lives of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo
Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernández,
Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, and Jose Mynor Lopez; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
