Senate Joint Resolution 401, sponsored by Haile, honors the memory of David Roy Baldwin, who passed away recently. Baldwin, born on October 6, 1953, in Libertyville, Illinois, was a talented painter and craftsman, known for his dedication to his faith and community. He served as a religious leader, ministering to individuals in prisons and nursing homes, and was actively involved in local politics, notably chairing the Republican Party in Trousdale County for twelve years. His contributions to the community included efforts to enhance election integrity and meaningful legislative changes. Baldwin was also a devoted family man, a disaster relief volunteer, and enjoyed outdoor activities.

The resolution reflects on Baldwin's life of service, compassion, and the impact he had on those around him. He is remembered fondly by his family, including his wife, children, and grandchildren, as well as by friends and community members. The Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Tennessee express their condolences to Baldwin's family and honor his legacy of service to God and humanity.
