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 with three siblings. His upbringing was marked by his father's military career, which took the family to various locations, including Germany. Kenneth pursued higher education at Hardin-Simmons University and the University of Houston, and he had a passion for adventure, exploring Europe and engaging in outdoor activities. He worked at NASA during the Apollo program and later became a successful advertising and public relations executive, founding his own firm, Griffin and Associates.

Kenneth Griffin was a devoted father to his two children, Rosalind and Travis, and later found love with Lynda Lindinger, with whom he shared a fulfilling marriage until her passing in 2019. He was an active member of Second Baptist Church-Woodway Campus, serving as a deacon and Sunday school class director. Known for his love of history, reading, and music, Kenneth was cherished for his sense of humor and strong character. The resolution expresses condolences to his family, including his children, grandchildren, and former wife, and it calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for his family, ensuring that the Texas House of Representatives adjourns in his memory.
