En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a ceremonial tribute, not a change to state law. It recognizes the life of Jim Coker, who died on January 22, 2026, and recounts his background: his education at Loganville High School, the University of Georgia, and Woodrow Wilson College of Law, his time as an Eagle Scout and service in the United States Army, and his family life with his wife Kaye and their children and grandchildren. The resolution formally states that House members join in honoring his memory and express regret at his passing. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to Coker's family. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute.
