This resolution honors the late attorney Roger Colbert, who passed away on February 4, 2025, at the age of 67. Born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Colbert earned a political science degree from Arkansas State University and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He practiced law in Paragould, focusing on real estate, corporations, financial institutions, and estates.

The resolution expresses gratitude for Colbert's significant impact on the community and the legal profession in Arkansas. It highlights his dedication to family, passion for sports, and the legacy he leaves behind through the lives he touched. The House of Representatives resolves to remember Roger Colbert for his contributions and plans to present a copy of the resolution to his family in recognition of his life and achievements.
