H.R. No. 10

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Noah Adam Rodriguez on
	August 21, 2022, at the age of 15, was a profound loss to all who
	loved him, and his family is committed to honoring Noah's memory
	through their work with the Forever 15 Project; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Austin on October 9, 2006, to Janel
	Rodriguez, Noah Rodriguez was raised by his mother and his adopted
	father, Brandon Dunn; he grew up with the companionship of three
	siblings, Braden, Jolene, and Alnora, and he was overjoyed to
	welcome a baby brother, Mordecai, into the family two weeks before
	his passing; and
	WHEREAS, Noah was enrolled as a sophomore at Moe and Gene
	Johnson High School in Buda, where he distinguished himself as a
	member of the football team; he had played football since the age of
	four, and he had been part of the Cougars football team at Chapa
	Middle School in Kyle that went undefeated two years in a row; in
	addition to being a talented athlete, he was an honor roll student
	at his school; and
	WHEREAS, After Noah lost his life to fentanyl poisoning, his
	family founded the Forever 15 Project in his memory; through their
	nonprofit, they have made it their mission to raise awareness of the
	extreme dangers associated with opioids and to provide information
	and resources to youth and to those who know someone who is at risk;
	and
	WHEREAS, The opioid epidemic continues to inflict a heavy
	toll on our communities, but by channeling their grief into
	meaningful action, the loved ones of Noah Rodriguez are helping to
	prevent other families from suffering the tragic loss that they
	have experienced; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
	Noah Adam Rodriguez and commend Noah's family and all those who are
	associated with the Forever 15 Project for their important work;
	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 Noah
	Rodriguez.
