5     WHEREAS, Mr. Barnard got his middle name from his father,
6 former Tazewell County Sheriff's Deputy Michael G. Righi, who
7 preceded him in death in 1977; and
 
8     WHEREAS, He was a 1992 graduate of Tremont High School, and

13 investigator; he had previously worked for the Markham Police
14 Department; and
 
15     WHEREAS, While off-duty, Officer Barnard had stopped to
16 assist a stranded motorist and was struck in a hit-and-run

18 nature; he will always be remembered for his sense of humor and
19 his fun-loving attitude; and
 
20     WHEREAS, The passing of Officer Barnard has been deeply
21 felt by many, especially his parents, Cathy and Robert Barnard;
22 his sister, Stacey (David) Welter; his fiancee, Shannon Raya;
23 and his grandmother, Marge Barnard; he was also preceded in
24 death by his sister, Shelly Righi; therefore, be it
 
25     RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-THIRD GENERAL
