	April 17, 2013, at the age of 52; and
	WHEREAS, Kenny Luckey Harris was born November 21, 1960, in
	Killeen; a 1979 graduate of Crawford High School, he married his
	beloved wife, Holly, on October 13, 1984, and the couple was
	blessed with three sons, Jud, Jarrod, and Heath, who were a
	source of much pride and joy; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Harris graduated from the Dallas Fire Academy
	in 1982 and began a fulfilling career of more than 31 years with

	his family; and
	WHEREAS, Captain Harris, who lived in West, lost his life
	while responding to a devastating fire and explosion at the West
	fertilizer plant; he was not a member of the fire department in
	West and was off-duty at the time of the fire at the plant, but he
	rushed to the scene to help ensure the safety of the town's
	volunteer firefighters in dealing with a chemical fire; his
	bravery and quick action are a reflection of the spirit that
	guided his life and his career; and
	WHEREAS, Luckey Harris was a fun-loving, adventurous man
	who relished the time he spent aboard his boat with his family and
	who inspired those around him to become better people; he gave
	unselfishly to others, and his courage, his generous spirit, and
	his enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest will not be
	forgotten; and
	WHEREAS, A devoted son, husband, and father, he leaves
	behind memories that will be treasured forever by his family and
	countless friends; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
	family of Kenneth Luckey Harris, Jr.; 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 Kenneth Luckey Harris, Jr.
