  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.
