A RESOLUTION
In memory of Corporal Nicholas Olivas.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Corporal Nicholas Olivas 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 2010 graduate of Fairfield Senior High School, Nicholas Olivas was a member of the 4th Brigade combat team, 82nd 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, Nicholas Olivas 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 parents, Adolfo and Marian, his three sisters, his wife, Faith, and his son, Connor. 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, Nicholas Olivas 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 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, mourn the loss and salute the memory of a truly unique individual, Corporal Nicholas Olivas; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Corporal Nicholas Olivas.

I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 276, adopted by the Ohio Senate, June 5, 2012.
