| In memory of Ryan Neil Seitz. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Ryan Neil Seitz and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends; and |
| WHEREAS, Ryan Seitz left an indelible impression on the people whose lives he touched, and he will be remembered as a spirited individual who contributed immeasurably to the world around him. The assistant director and technology coordinator for the Herbert Wescoat Memorial Library and a member of Antioch Kelly Church, he was instrumental in establishing broadband communications for the Vinton County Chamber of Commerce, and he was serving as a volunteer with the McArthur Fire Department when he was killed in the line of duty; and |
| WHEREAS, Giving generously of his energy and abilities, Ryan Seitz displayed exceptional concern and insight and was tireless in his work to better the world around him. A devoted son to his parents, Steven and Tonette, and a loving companion to his fianc, Tasha, he always used his talents to the benefit of those around him, and although the void his death has created can never be filled, the legacy of care and commitment he established will surely live on. His absence will be keenly felt; and |
| WHEREAS, At a time when many people are content to take a passive role in life, firefighters often risk their own safety, and in fact their lives, to ensure the well-being of their fellow citizens. The devotion to duty that Ryan Seitz showed in all of his endeavors earned him the genuine respect and gratitude of his colleagues and of the community he so capably served. The world is a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be truly missed; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a profound sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Ryan Neil Seitz and, in so doing, pay tribute to the memory of a truly unique individual; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Ryan Neil Seitz. |
