|
|
|
|
In Memory |
|
of |
|
Nikolas Coltan Evans |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and |
|
commemorates the life of Nikolas Coltan Evans, who died April 5, |
|
2009, at the age of 21; and |
|
WHEREAS, Nikolas Coltan Evans was born February 18, 1988, |
|
in Arlington; he grew up in Euless and was a graduate of Trinity |
|
High School, where he was a member of the cross country team; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, An enthusiastic admirer of film and cinema, |
|
Nikolas moved to Austin in 2006 to attend film school; he was |
|
passionate about every facet of filmmaking, and his efforts to |
|
learn the art and craft of this profession reflect his creative |
|
spirit and his desire to communicate with others in a meaningful |
|
way; and |
|
WHEREAS, Nikolas was a warm and loving young man, and even |
|
though he is no longer among us, he continues to live through the |
|
lives of the five fortunate persons who benefited from the |
|
donation of his organs; it is truly fitting that his innate |
|
generosity be reflected by the gift of life he gave to others |
|
through organ donation; and |
|
WHEREAS, A young man of courage, strength, and wisdom |
|
beyond his years, he gave unselfishly to others, and his |
|
compassion, his wit, and his enthusiasm for living each day to |
|
the fullest will not be forgotten by those who knew him; and |
|
WHEREAS, He was a devoted son, brother, and grandson, and |
|
he leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by his |
|
family and his many friends; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved |
|
family and friends of Nikolas Coltan Evans; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas Senate, |
|
and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in memory of |
|
Nikolas Coltan Evans. |
