SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 154
|
|
|
|
In Memory |
|
of |
|
Heath Abram Faucheux |
|
|
WHEREAS, No words can soften the pain of a life cut short, |
|
but the family and friends of Heath Abram Faucheux of Hallsville |
|
may find comfort in their memories of this beloved young man, |
|
who passed away on August 5, 2017, at the age of 16; and |
|
WHEREAS, The son of Dion and Michelle Faucheux and brother |
|
of Nathan and Trent Faucheux, Heath Faucheux was born in |
|
Effingham, Illinois, on March 20, 2001; he attended Hallsville |
|
High School, where he was a member of the National Honor Society |
|
and played French horn in the Hallsville Bobcat Band; in addition, |
|
he enjoyed making music at the piano or on the harmonica, and he |
|
recently taught himself to play trumpet; his musical tastes were |
|
broad, ranging from jazz and show tunes to classic hits and |
|
Christian songs; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Faucheux was a member of the Hallsville Math |
|
Science Team and competed in Academic University Interscholastic |
|
League from sixth grade onward; athletic as well, he earned a |
|
first-degree black belt in tae kwon do and lifeguard certification |
|
from the American Red Cross; his greatest enthusiasm was |
|
scouting, and he excelled in the movement from his days as a Tiger |
|
Cub, earning the Arrow of Light and nearing completion of his |
|
Eagle Scout requirements; a natural leader, he set an example of |
|
kindness, courtesy, and integrity; he enjoyed teaching skills to |
|
younger scouts, and he was a staff member for National Youth |
|
Leadership Training Camp, Cub Day Camp, and Camporee, as well as |
|
senior patrol leader, guide, and bugler for his own troop; his |
|
sense of adventure found an outlet in mountain climbing, knee |
|
boarding, canoeing, sailing, swimming, and many other outdoor |
|
activities; and |
|
WHEREAS, Uncommonly mature and observant for his age, |
|
Heath Faucheux demonstrated a high degree of empathy, and he |
|
reached out to those who were shy or uncertain; his smile, sense |
|
of humor, and wildly creative ideas brightened the days of |
|
everyone he encountered; although the loss of one so full of |
|
promise brings immeasurable heartache, those he leaves behind |
|
will forever cherish the precious years they shared with him; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life |
|
of Heath Abram Faucheux and extend deepest condolences to all who |
|
mourn his passing; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do |
|
so in memory of Heath Abram Faucheux. |
