In memory of Specialist Angel Luis Lopez. |
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Specialist Angel Luis Lopez on the sorrowful occasion of his death; and |
WHEREAS, Although there are no words to ease the sorrow now felt, surely there is solace in the remembrance of having known such an outstanding individual. A graduate of John Marshall High School, Angel Lopez was a mechanic with the U.S. Army, and he was serving in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom when he was killed in the line of duty. His valiant efforts were truly admirable, and his absence will be keenly felt; and |
WHEREAS, In many significant endeavors, Angel Lopez always used his talents to the benefit of others, and the laurels of his life stand as a tribute not only to him but also to those he left behind, including his wife, Maria, his two children, Lydia and Antonio, and his stepson, Isaiah. The great traditions of our country's service men and women are an important chapter of American history, and his family and friends can be proud of the sacrifices he made to ensure freedom and justice for all people; and |
WHEREAS, Although the void his death has created can never be filled, Angel Lopez will be remembered as a spirited individual who contributed immeasurably to the world around him. It is certain that the world is a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be sorely missed; therefore be it |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, mourn the loss and salute the memory of a truly unique individual, Specialist Angel Luis Lopez; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Specialist Angel Luis Lopez. |
I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 202, adopted by the Ohio Senate, October 16, 2013. |
