R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the
passing of the Reverend Perry Cameron Colston on April 24, 2025, at
the age of 67; and
WHEREAS, The son of Victoria Jones and Nathaniel Colston Sr.,
Perry Colston was born in Nacogdoches on May 2, 1957; he grew up
with the companionship of three siblings, Nathaniel, Barbara, and
Michael, and he devoted himself to his faith at an early age as a
member of Iron Wheel Missionary Baptist Church; he graduated in
1975 from Nacogdoches High School, and his performance on the
football team merited him a four-year scholarship to Texas
Christian University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in
psychology in 1979; and
WHEREAS, While attending TCU, Reverend Colston met and
married Stephanie Carter, and the couple became the proud parents
of a daughter, Stacie; after that marriage ended, he wed Wanise
Haywood in 1988, and they were blessed with a son, Cameron; with the
passing years, he had the pleasure of seeing his treasured family
grow to include a number of grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, Reverend Colston received the call to ministry while
in the early stages of his career in the pharmaceutical industry; he
preached his first sermon in 1982, and he was later ordained by the
Reverend Edwin G. Deese of Christ Fellowship Missionary Church; at
the time of his passing, he was ministering under the leadership of
Pastor Remus E. Wright of The Fountain of Praise in Houston; and
WHEREAS, Deeply dedicated to his family, his faith, and his
community, Perry Colston earned the lasting respect and admiration
of all who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of the Reverend Perry
Cameron Colston and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn his
passing; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Perry
Colston.
