COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR S.C.R. No. 25 By: West
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The life of Sergio Ivan Rodriguez was tragically cut
short on December 9, 2024, at the tender age of 15 in his hometown of
Houston, Texas; though his time was brief, Sergio left an indelible
mark on his family, friends, and community; and it is indeed fitting
to name a pedestrian bridge in his memory; and
WHEREAS, Born on March 2, 2009, Sergio was known for his
infectious sense of humor and his ability to bring joy to those
around him; a dedicated 10th-grade student at Charles H. Milby High
School, he was passionate about football and was admired for his
talent on the field, where he poured his heart into the game he
loved; and
WHEREAS, Sergio's enthusiasm extended beyond sports; he
cherished time spent with his family and friends, bonding over
shared interests such as movies, video games, and wings, his
favorite food; he had a special affection for his cats, Chana and
Rambo, and his love for animals further exemplified his kind and
compassionate spirit; and
WHEREAS, To honor the memory of Sergio Ivan Rodriguez and
recognize the joy and inspiration he brought to those around him, it
is fitting to commemorate his life in a way that reflects his
enduring spirit and love for his community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby urge the Houston City Council to construct the Sergio Ivan
Rodriguez Memorial Pedestrian Bridge over the railroad tracks near
Charles H. Milby High School in honor of Sergio Ivan Rodriguez,
ensuring that his legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to his
family and his community will be remembered for generations to
come; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
copy of this resolution to the Houston City Council.
