House Joint Resolution 59, sponsored by Representative Vital, honors the memory of Dr. Won Bae Park, a dedicated public servant and psychiatrist from Ooltewah, who recently passed away. Born in South Korea on March 16, 1942, Dr. Park devoted his career to improving the quality of life for his community, serving at the Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute until his retirement. He was a man of faith, actively involved in the Collegedale Korean Seventh-day Adventist Church, and cherished his family, leaving behind his wife, three children, and four grandchildren.

The resolution reflects on Dr. Park's exemplary character, integrity, and commitment to both public service and family values. It expresses condolences to his family and acknowledges the lasting legacy he leaves through his compassion, loyalty, and dedication. The General Assembly finds it fitting to remember Dr. Park's contributions and the impact he had on those around him.
