The resolution honors the life and legacy of Kenneth Allen Griffin, who passed away on June 22, 2025, at the age of 82. Born in Abilene on August 5, 1942, Kenneth was the son of Walter and Athen Griffin and grew up in a military family, which allowed him to experience various locations in the U.S. and Germany. He pursued higher education in history and had a diverse career, including working at NASA during the Apollo program and later establishing his own advertising firm. Kenneth was a devoted father to his two children, Rosalind and Travis, and was known for his strong character, kindness, and sense of humor.

The resolution expresses deep sympathy to Kenneth Griffin's family, including his children, grandchildren, and former wife, and acknowledges his contributions to his community as a member of Second Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon. It highlights his passions for history, reading, and music, and emphasizes the inspiration his family and friends will continue to draw from his commitment to faith and the founding principles of the nation. The Texas House of Representatives resolves to pay tribute to Kenneth Griffin and prepare an official copy of the resolution for his family.
