The resolution honors the life and legacy of Dewey William McClain, who passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 91. Born in 1934, McClain served in the United States Marine Corps before embarking on a 40-year career at Lone Star Steel and serving as Justice of the Peace for Morris County for 24 years. He was a devoted family man, married to his wife Diane for 42 years until her passing in 2012, and he took pride in his children and extensive family, which includes 13 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. A lifelong member of the Daingerfield Church of Christ, he enjoyed outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, and fishing.

The Texas Senate expresses its condolences to McClain's family, including his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, acknowledging the profound impact he had on their lives. The resolution concludes with a commitment to prepare an official copy for his family and states that the Senate will adjourn in his memory, reflecting on the cherished memories he left behind.
