H.R. No. 1111

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the loss of Officer Karl R. McDonough of the El Paso Police
Department, who died in the line of duty on October 13, 2010, at the
age of 41; and
WHEREAS, Karl McDonough was born on April 5, 1969, to Paul and
Nancy McDonough; he answered his nation's call to duty with service
in the U.S. Army from 1987 to 1995, including a tour of duty in the
Persian Gulf; and
WHEREAS, Returning to civilian life, Mr. McDonough attended
the El Paso Police Academy and received his commission as a peace
officer in 2007; he worked the graveyard shift at the Pebble Hills
Regional Command Center, where he earned the respect and admiration
of his peers; and
WHEREAS, Officer McDonough was dedicated to protecting his
fellow citizens, especially those least capable of protecting
themselves, and though he was taken far too soon, he leaves behind a
legacy of service that will continue to inspire all those who knew
and loved him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Officer Karl R.
McDonough and extend sincere condolences to the members of his
family: to his wife, Alicia Rebecca McDonough; to his children,
Kaylum, Keeshaw, and Paulina McDonough, and his stepson, Rene
Grijalva; to his parents, Paul and Nancy McDonough; to his brother,
Terry McDonough; and to his other relatives and friends; 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 adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Karl R.
McDonough.
