In
memory of Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons.
WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio extend our sincere condolences to the family and
friends of Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons on the sorrowful occasion of
his death; and
WHEREAS,
Although there are no words to ease the sorrow now felt, surely there
is solace in the remembrance of having known such an outstanding
individual as Tyler Simmons. A 2015 graduate of Eastmoor Academy High
School, he was a member of the 121st Air Refueling Wing based at
Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, and he was serving aboard a
KC-135 Stratotanker in support of Operation Epic Fury when he was
killed in the line of duty. His valiant efforts were truly admirable,
and his absence will be keenly felt; and
WHEREAS,
In numerous roles, Tyler Simmons always used his talents to the
benefit of others, and the laurels of his life stand as a tribute not
only to him but also to those he left behind. The great traditions of
our country’s service men and women are an important chapter of
American history, and his family and friends can be proud of the
sacrifices he made to ensure freedom and justice for all people; and
WHEREAS,
Although the void his death has created can never be filled, Tyler
Simmons will be remembered as a spirited individual who contributed
immeasurably to the world around him. It is certain that the world is
a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be sorely
missed; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, mourn the loss
and salute the memory of a truly unique individual, Master Sergeant
Tyler Simmons; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Master
Sergeant Tyler Simmons.
