The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to designate a 2.9-mile stretch of Riverside Drive in Boone County, West Virginia, as the "Cohen Wade Craddock Memorial Road." This section of road runs between 5th Avenue and 4th Avenue, in front of Madison Middle School, and is intended to honor the memory of Cohen Wade Craddock, who tragically passed away on August 24, 2024, due to injuries sustained during a football practice at the school. Cohen was remembered fondly by his peers and teachers for his vibrant personality and kind heart, leaving a significant impact on those who knew him.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of creating a lasting tribute to Cohen's life, which was cut short at a young age. It calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the designated road to commemorate him. Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the implementation of this memorial.
