The resolution honors the life and service of James Bobbitt, a dedicated firefighter with the Flower Mound Fire Department, who passed away on December 12, 2024, at the age of 50. Born on August 23, 1974, Bobbitt began his firefighting career as a volunteer in Springtown, where he earned the Rookie of the Year award. He joined the Flower Mound Fire Department in 2007 and was recognized twice as Firefighter of the Year for his exceptional skills and mentorship to new recruits. After being diagnosed with esophageal cancer, he advocated for the inclusion of this disease on the state's list of presumptive cancers for firefighters, ensuring better support for others facing similar challenges.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' condolences to Bobbitt's family, friends, and colleagues, acknowledging his commitment to public service and the impact he had on those around him. It highlights his devotion to his wife, Amy, and his children, and emphasizes the pride his loved ones can take in his legacy of service. The resolution concludes with a directive to prepare an official copy for his family and to adjourn in his memory.
