WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and | ||
meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and many | ||
friends of Stephen Henry Perry of Austin, who passed away on May 11, | ||
2020, at the age of 62; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Gayle and O. V. Perry, Steve Perry was | ||
born in Lubbock on August 28, 1957, and he grew up with a sister, | ||
Camille; he attended Texas Tech University and completed his | ||
bachelor's degree in government at The University of Texas at | ||
Austin; after working at the Capitol for then-state representative | ||
George Pierce, he was hired by Texaco as a state government affairs | ||
representative; he went on to lead government affairs for Altura | ||
Energy and then represented Texaco again as head of his own firm, | ||
Perry and Associates; following Texaco's merger with the Chevron | ||
Corporation in 2004, he became Chevron's state government affairs | ||
manager and guided a team advocating for the company in New Mexico, | ||
Colorado, and Oklahoma, as well as Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Perry took on leadership roles in charitable | ||
endeavors, as well as trade associations; his affable manner and | ||
thoughtful, caring nature brought him numerous warm friendships in | ||
professional circles and with people he met from all walks of life; | ||
an attentive listener, he always stood ready to provide | ||
encouragement, consolation, or sage advice; following the death of | ||
his sister, he stepped in to help his niece, Katherine, and he | ||
continued to play a significant role in her life; he was an | ||
enthusiastic music fan and patron, and he loved to include friends | ||
in his fun at music festivals, Austin City Limits tapings, the | ||
opera, and other events; in addition, he was an avid golfer for more | ||
than 45 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Steve Perry possessed a generosity of spirit that | ||
expressed itself in myriad ways, and he enriched the lives of all | ||
who were fortunate enough to share in his love and friendship; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Stephen Henry Perry and extend | ||
sincere condolences to all who mourn his passing; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of | ||
Stephen Henry Perry. |
