Senate Joint Resolution 403 honors the memory of David Roy Baldwin, who passed away and is remembered for his multifaceted contributions as a painter, craftsman, religious leader, and community servant. Born on October 6, 1953, in Libertyville, Illinois, Baldwin was known for his artistic talent and dedication to his faith, particularly in ministering to individuals in prisons and nursing homes. He played a significant role in local politics, chairing the Republican Party in Trousdale County for twelve years and serving on the Trousdale County Election Commission, where he was instrumental in shifting the county's political landscape.

Baldwin's legacy extends beyond his professional achievements; he was a devoted family man, actively involved in the lives of his grandchildren, and participated in disaster relief efforts. He enjoyed outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing and shared a special bond with his German Shepherd, Sarge. The resolution expresses condolences to his family, including his wife, children, and grandchildren, and acknowledges his lasting impact on both his community and those who knew him.
