The resolution highlights his volunteer work with several Madison County organizations, a scholarship program he helped create for local high school seniors, and his mentoring of students at Ila Elementary School. It formally expresses the House's condolences to his family and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to them.
