Whereas, born in Columbia on August 7, 1981, he was the son of LaVerne H. Fluker and Clifton C. Fluker, Sr. He attended St. Martin de Porres Catholic School and graduated from W. J. Keenan High School in 1999; and

Whereas, during his years at Keenan High School, he distinguished himself academically by being named to the Honor Roll. He applied himself to his musical talents with no less diligence as a member of the school's marching band, orchestra, jazz ensemble, and concert band; and

Whereas, when Mr. Fluker chose to serve his nation as a member of the United States armed forces, he interrupted his education and was deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom; and

Whereas, he earned a bachelor's degree from Benedict College in 2006, and he later earned a master's degree from Webster University and became a licensed professional counselor (LPC); and

Whereas, Mr. Fluker served as a school-based mental health counselor with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health and was the owner of Charisma Counseling and Consulting, LLC; and

Whereas, in order to serve at-risk children, he was in the process of creating a nonprofit organization for Camp Charisma; and

Whereas, together with his beloved wife, Jessica D. Fluker, he reared three fine children: Aniya E. Fluker, Alana E. Fluker, and Azariah E. Fluker; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the life of Frank Fluker, the legacy he has left, and the example of compassion and kindness he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Franklin Edward "Frank" Fluker of Richland County and extend their deepest sympathy to his large and loving family and his many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to LaVerne H. Fluker.
