R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to
  a close with the death of retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel
  Carlos Everado Lerma of Celina on March 31, 2019, at the age of 84;
  and
         WHEREAS, Carlos Lerma was born in Kingsville on October 12,
  1934, to Francisca and Mauro Lerma Jr., and he grew up with four
  siblings, Mauro, Lucila, Nilda, and Ninfa; he was a star athlete at
  Kingsville High School, where he lettered in football, basketball,
  and track, and he attended Texas Tech University on a football
  scholarship, earning a degree in civil engineering; and
         WHEREAS, After working as a laboratory instructor at Texas
  Tech and as an assistant highway project engineer for the State of
  Texas, Mr. Lerma joined the U.S. Air Force; during his outstanding
  career as a fighter pilot, he flew 300 combat missions in Southeast
  Asia without losing a plane or a crew member and earned the coveted
  "Top Gun" designation; his medals and commendations included the
  Distinguished Flying Cross, the Meritorious Service Medal with two
  oak leaf clusters, the Air Medal with 14 oak leaf clusters, and the
  Vietnam Service Medal with oak leaf clusters, among many others;
  and
         WHEREAS, While still in the air force, Mr. Lerma earned a
  master's degree in public administration from Auburn University
  through the USAF Air War College, and after retiring at the rank of
  lieutenant colonel, he returned to Kingsville and served his
  beloved home town as city manager, securing over $15 million in
  grants and projects for the city during his tenure; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Lerma was joined in matrimony to Dr. Sandra
  Lanier-Lerma, and they shared a rewarding marriage that spanned 32
  years; he was the proud father of three children, Carlos Lerma,
  Lawrence Berg Jr., and Diana Lerma Bounds, and later in life, he was
  blessed with eight grandchildren, Gretchen, Rachel, Elizabeth,
  Christopher, Cason, Caden, Haley, and Rhyan; and
         WHEREAS, Carlos Lerma possessed a love of adventure and a
  generosity of spirit that brightened the hearts of all those who
  knew and loved him, and they will forever treasure their memories of
  time spent in his company; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lieutenant Colonel
  (Ret.) Carlos Everado Lerma and extend heartfelt sympathy to his
  family and many 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 Carlos
  Lerma.
