Senator Faber
| In memory of Staff Sergeant Sonny Christopher Zimmerman. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Staff Sergeant Sonny Christopher Zimmerman 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 2005 graduate of Waynesfield-Goshen High School, Sonny Zimmerman was an infantry squad leader with Company A, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division of 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, Sonny Zimmerman 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, Morgan, his stepdaughter, Riley, and his parents, Chris and Michelle. 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, Sonny Zimmerman 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, Staff Sergeant Sonny Christopher Zimmerman; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Staff Sergeant Sonny Christopher Zimmerman. |
