SR646: SR646 Alexander Sr., Mr. Fred; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Mr. Fred Alexander Sr., describing his more than two-decade fight against cancer, a disease that also claimed his brothers, father, uncles, and grandfather. It notes his religious life at God's Divine Grace Ministries and New Birth Baptist Church, his marriage to his wife Pat, his four children, 15 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, his retired career in landscaping, electrical supply, commercial driving, and mechanic work, and his hobbies including collecting antique cars and watching motorsports and other sports. The resolution formally states that Senate members recognize Mr. Alexander and wish him continued health and happiness. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to him. It carries no funding, penalties, or changes to Georgia law.

• Formally recognizes Mr. Fred Alexander Sr. by name on behalf of the Georgia Senate for overcoming a long battle with cancer.
• States the Senate's best wishes for his continued health and happiness.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Mr. Alexander.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, consistent with its purpose as a ceremonial tribute.

The resolution directly names and honors Mr. Fred Alexander Sr. and references his wife Pat, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It has no effect on any other individuals, businesses, or government agencies beyond the Secretary of the Senate's administrative task.

This resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a personal tribute. Its only real-world consequence is that Mr. Alexander receives an official printed copy of the Senate's recognition of his health struggle and personal history.

• The whereas clauses describe Mr. Alexander's cancer battle, family, religious involvement, career, and hobbies as the basis for recognition.
• The resolved clause has the Senate formally recognize him and extend wishes for continued health and happiness.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to him.
